Thank you, Barbara,for the wonderful letter to your daughter.
I have enjoyed reading your columns for many years. This is another one of your genuine, expressive articles. Your columns explode with imagery and humanity.

Well put, Barbara. You raised her right, and she's off to make the world a better place -- on her own terms.

That is a beautiful piece. Get yourself and your daughter a copy of the picture book by Mem Fox entitled Koala Lou That little book is the most poignant expression of these feelings that I have ever seen.
