With all the bad stuff we hear about on the news, it is a blessing to read about people who quietly and lovingly are working to make the world a better place, one child at a time.<BR/><BR/>Take care,<BR/><BR/>Peggy in VirginiaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35990418.post-41670775636752256942008-06-28T00:34:00.000-06:002008-06-28T00:34:00.000-06:00Cindy - The thoughtfulness of every word you speak...Cindy - The thoughtfulness of every word you speak to your children amazes me. Wow, wow, wow - how many of us would have just jumped right in for Kenny and told the doctors what needed to be fixed. Yet, you took this opportunity seriously, carefully, thoughfully - to see how much more this is for Kenny than just fixing a medical problem - you are amazing! As usual - I am in awe! I'm no teacher but I'd say you get an A++++++ What I wouldn't give to have had your wisdom when I was raising my own children. Have a safe trip back! Love to all!

But what you can do is help your child believe he is loved which you have done. Kenny may never see himself through your eyes but he will know that however he sees himself you see him with nothing but love and what a warm place to land that is.<BR/>As a teacher I must disagree ... definitely an A+ on your test!!<BR/>Kim from Germany soon to be heading to Korea with (in my opinion) the most beautiful little girl around who also does not believe it all the time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35990418.post-17641206970216081312008-06-26T13:57:00.000-06:002008-06-26T13:57:00.000-06:00Wow, I think you handled that really well.
