I was not lucky to have such supportive, loving parents. It does leave a hole in one's heart....it certainly did mine. I think that's why I especially love reading stories like yours. I love knowing that such parents are really out there in the world! And I think I receive some comfort in a vicarious way by knowing that another person did receive such great parenting!

I always thought it would be nice to help kids reach their potential, also. There really are so many disadvantaged children. My son-in-law teaches school at a special school for teenagers who have been in the juvenile detention system. Most of their stories are heartbreaking....and most have lacked the stability and love that good parents provide. He tries his best to be a good role model, a kind, loving role model.

I have enjoyed talking with you. I am happy for you that you had such a loving home.
