A month ago I had my second baby come to us. A boy and a girl now, and 6 years together in September. I admire the courage and the adventure spirit in your relationship. Congratulations.

You want one, Terri. Trust me on this. You’d be a great mother. Awesome. You’d love every minute of it. Only 17 days until the big W, eh? Panicking yet? And you have to go a year before you can have an anniversary.

There’s a part of me that wants to be where you are, Ginger, having a child that knows what he/she wants and is able to express it. But I’m finding it hard to let go of my little baby girl.

I agree with Ginger, Geoff. That is very touching and insightful.

I liked the part “All she knows is that she can move from our arms to something she wants.” which is exactly what you’ll be teaching her for the rest of her life. She will be moving toward the things that she wants in life… whether they are good or bad for her. Mind you, with parents like you and Alex any bad decisions will surely be few and far between and she’ll have the skills to take something positive from those experiences anyway.

Geez Geoff, with the way you write about your wee one, I almost feel compelled to have one myself. I said almost.

Happy Anniversary to both of you, by the way. Only 17 days away for me!

That was really touching and insightful. As the mother of a four year old who only holds my hand to “protect” me and is soon to be going into school, I find this very poignant. Thanks.
