It's amazing. My kids have grown me in ways I never knew possible. The patience I've received and the love I get from them is just amazing.

I do not believe that sheer suffering teaches. If suffering alone taught all the world would be wise since everyone suffers. To suffering must be added mourning understanding patience love openness and the willingness to remain vulnerable.

One problem with age is that patience begins to ebb.

A final word: I am not knowledgeable about the internet. I do not have a computer. I guess that at 74 years of age I don't have the patience to learn.
