S...I'm not sure I'm a big fan of the Holland story. Someone gave it to me shortly after my son's birth. Yes, I understand the point, but I'm not sure I agree with the premise. I don't think any of us have a guaranteed path or know what to expect, exactly, with any child nor do I think everyone who "goes to Holland" laments the loss of missing Italy.<BR/><BR/>Just my take on that story and how I felt when I read it.Rebecca Talleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01969923131001170254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8668789517158203028.post-90966547318167010872008-06-12T07:21:00.000-06:002008-06-12T07:21:00.000-06:00I've read that Holland piece, and love it.

"Why are you doing that?" one of my cousins asked innocently.<BR/>"So they don't bite her," I replied.<BR/>With a puzzled look, the cousin asked, "But she can't feel it, can she?"<BR/>I explained that she most certainly could.<BR/>I don't blame my cousin one bit. If you've never been to Holland, how can you really know how a field of tulips looks and smells?Shirley Bahlmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15613281300605173576noreply@blogger.com
