My Little Hero
Dear Emma Lou, In today's society a hero is defined as someone who influenced more than one person or saved a person's life. They do something that moves people's hearts and their community. Heroes come in variety of different ways. Some even change the course in History. Some have died so that we can live.

The Guilt
I always wanted a big family. I used to joke with my ex husband about how many kids we would have. I wanted 4; he wanted 2. So I said that we should have 6! That way if we get divorced, he can take his 2 and I will take my 4. If we ended up not getting divorced, then we would always have an extra gift lying around if we forgot someone’s birthday. “Oh, it’s your 30th? Here, have a baby!” And also we would have spares if any of the children needed a liver. Win-win-win.

Package Deal
"When he was born, the doctors said it would be best if I didn't see him. He said his mind would never develop past the age of five and I should just put him in an institution. Because the burden of raisin' a child like that would be too great. So I smiled at him and I asked for the baby. Oh, how could anybody think that sweet, precious baby could ever be a burden?" --Idgie, Fried Green Tomatoes

How Do You Learn to Communicate with Your Newborn?
At birth, the baby has to face many more changes than at any other time in his life. Separating from the mother's body, the child must learn to take care of himself, to be autonomous, to use his reflexes, to swallow and digest food.

A “Leave Me Alone, I Don’t Have Time” Can Cost You a Lot.
When parents are the only source of information for their children, things are very simple - there is no one else with such authority. Over time, however, other people appear in the child's life - teachers, friends, the media that will disrupt his ideas about what he has learned at home.

Not all Heroes Wear Tights
My Dear Sweet Tyson, I know you know I love you with all my heart. But have I ever told you how you saved me? When I lost Alysia it was the hardest thing I ever had to go through. I know I have told you stories of angel Alysia. She would of just adored you as much as I do, but she took her own life at 13. Your mom Amy had her world turned upside down. She was 11yrs old at the time we lost her sister Alysia. I tried my hardest to help mommy Amy through her grief. She was my inspiration to figure out how to deal with all my grief and feelings. Amy was very angry, lost and confused. I say can’t blame her for how she felt. I was an adult and I was having a hard time. So I could only imagine how she felt, no kid should ever have to deal with all the tough stuff mommy Amy did. Four years after losing angel Alysia, Great Grandma Linda had an accident that left her unable to walk. Me and your aunts took turns at the hospital talking care of our mom. It was a really challenging time. If we weren’t going through enough already Great Grandpa G had a heart attack. He was in the hospital for several days. Mommy Amy was beside herself with worry. Great Grandpa G and mommy Amy have a special bond, she has always looked up to her grandpa.
