I only have one daughter, so I don't risk any of that sort of conflict. It is important to have everything stated very clearly beforehand, though. <BR/><BR/>Sometimes you can't comfort people, because their sadness is too great, but you are left with your feelings about it and then you write them down in your blog and you get feedback from other people and that is the good thing about it.Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05043376053971475659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3573997081449536840.post-16544371194809864942008-02-23T22:16:00.000+00:002008-02-23T22:16:00.000+00:00That does sound very sad.
