You are Welcome!

It is nice to know that I (and I am sure other OBPI's) can help make things better for the children and parents.
Parent have also helped me to understand my own Mother better.

I use to think she was a nag and sometimes just tried to control too many things in my life.
She died when I was in my 20's and I was too young to appreciate all she had to go through with this injury.

I realize now all the things she did were for my benefit.
She force me to use both hands by assigning tasks for each hand according to the ability I had to do things.
She constantly push me to use my arm and most of all she made me feel as if I could do anything I really wanted to.

When I see parent worrying and working so hard for the kids it reminds me of how much love and patience it take to raise a strong minded bpi child.

Thank you all too!

Dear Mica and all reading Moms,
YES, Thank you Parents for helping me too, in many ways.,most of all, helping me fully accept my mother as she was, not what I wished she was. ( yes, it was a totally different Era I grew up in.)This all helped me be a survivor of all "bumps and "curves", making the most of all opportunities to find answers and ways to do "It" in my own way.

Sorry, for the Soapy Box..but you all have helped me plenty!!

HUGS,
