They did AP and were wonderful about my asking questions. They also had books around the house that I'd read when the kids were quiet.<br /><br />But mostly, I think it was Sharon (the mom), and how great she was with ME that had me want to grow up to be like HER. We did talk about the challenges she faced, with her clinical co-workers, her parents, her friends of a more strict religion. It was her honesty and vulnerability, too, that inspired me.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18010918513168044553noreply@blogger.com
