Just within the last month (home 18 months) has she said "I Love You Mommy" to me BEFORE I say it to her, just out of the blue.<br /><br />It has been a long process but oh so worth it. <br /><br />Again, Shannon, thank you for sharing and you handled that so well.Wife of the Pres.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18325629674978160122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-901236530905099899.post-4227142284784214072010-05-28T10:45:58.076-07:002010-05-28T10:45:58.076-07:00What a precious moment between you and Ravenna.

The hurt they must feel...sigh* Thanks for sharing...<br /><br />wendy in OHWendy in OHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01722490920241540322noreply@blogger.com
