There are things I would love to go back and redo, but though I'm not completely satisfied, I'm not ashamed either. When I said "okay" to Kirby I was saying okay to the little Sandra inside me who might otherwise have built up some jealous resentment about this new kid getting to do things I never got to do. It was healing to imagine that if my mom had been fortunate enough to have other influences and better circumstances maybe she would have said yes to me more often too.
... By sharing my children's lives, there has been more happy childhood in my own life.

This is a repeat from February 2012, because midnight arrived and for me and Cinderella, that's a serious deadline.
I like this one and am glad you recycled it. It creates such a profound image for me.
