Julia may not realize it now, but you are providing her with the things of life and she is learning about two people working together and doing what they love! She is also learning about life and death - not easy when you are young, but necessary so that she can enjoy the joy of just living. She will appreciate it all the more she gets some distance from it, but that has ever been the way of our lives. <br />Thanks also for the videos. Peg on Vancouver IslandAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
