What a child needs from his/her parents really can be summed up with just one word - love. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/puts-things-in-perspective-warning-tearjerker#post-5474 Thu, 20 Oct 2011 14:52:01 +0000 mommacommaphd 5474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh. Yeah. I saw this the other day as well. I cannot imagine. It breaks my heart. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/puts-things-in-perspective-warning-tearjerker#post-5437 Thu, 20 Oct 2011 12:25:58 +0000 MaisyMay 5437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh wow. I cannot imagine how difficult that is. I like that term "Dragon Mom" for the parents of those who are here a short time, fighting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/puts-things-in-perspective-warning-tearjerker#post-5398 Thu, 20 Oct 2011 09:37:14 +0000 Wondermommy 5398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>*Sniff Sniff* Aaaaand, I start the day off crying. Very moving read. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/puts-things-in-perspective-warning-tearjerker#post-5385 Thu, 20 Oct 2011 08:35:46 +0000 sandsandmore 5385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A very good read. And yes, puts the petty mommy fights to shame. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/puts-things-in-perspective-warning-tearjerker#post-5367 Thu, 20 Oct 2011 04:32:54 +0000 SAHM0811 5367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This was passed around my local moms group listserv... Definitely a good read. Heartbreaking, yet inspiring. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/puts-things-in-perspective-warning-tearjerker#post-5360 Thu, 20 Oct 2011 01:21:16 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 5360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Read this... my heart breaks for this mom and what she has to go through... at the same time, it's a good reminder that the things we think matter don't really matter all that much. </p> <p>"This is a love story, and like all great love stories, it is a story of loss. Parenting, I’ve come to understand, is about loving my child today. Now. In fact, for any parent, anywhere, that’s all there is."</p> <p><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/16/opinion/sunday/notes-from-a-dragon-mom.html?_r=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/16/opinion/sunday/notes-from-a-dragon-mom.html?_r=1</a> </p>
