I felt amazed by how eloquently you can put words into what you are feeling right now. <BR/><BR/>You are doing a beautiful job, Jo.Gretchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07425898963082396240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4230137143430251965.post-6769110941332994542008-07-21T23:47:00.000-04:002008-07-21T23:47:00.000-04:00He has also learned to love from women.

His face would not light up when he sees you, nor would he fall asleep in your arms if this wasn't true. As he experieinces you coming and going and coming back again over and over during the next few months he'll understand women can in deed be trusted. He just needs to see and feel this behavior to create an understanding and expectation.
