I think it's so powerful for children to see adults moving through the world successfully that mirror their own challenges and triumphs. Thank God for Temple Grandin and parents like you who are willing to have these conversations with their kids. <br>Love.<br><br>Kariohttp://www.the-writing-life.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2959253662881047710.post-45109770398749562532011-02-18T11:36:09.000-06:002011-02-18T11:36:09.000-06:00And the grieving continues for you all, as does th...And the grieving continues for you all, as does the revelation of the gifts that come only through the fire.<br><br>Debhttp://catbirdscout.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2959253662881047710.post-37191304663758442312011-02-18T10:33:21.000-06:002011-02-18T10:33:21.000-06:00You and Rojo are amazing.
