Good news, compliments and/or happy thoughts have no expiration date.

jaeangel,

Thank you for being open and honest with your answers
in all your posts. I've learned so much from you and admire you greatly.

I wish the both of you all the best,

Ruby
Ruby,
It's awfully nice to say the things you did, too. Lots of good advice on these boards may be read, but never gets responded to. That makes *you* special too!

My partner and I have house rules with the kids and with each other: anything bugging you must be aired out and brought into the light before bedtime. Sometimes just stating the problem makes the load lighter, sometimes solving or suggesting solutions can warm the heart with appreciation for family support.

We never go to sleep before a dispute is settled or a bad situation faced and attacked. As we don't know if we'll wake tomorrow, we always close our eyes knowing the love we share.
