Thank you sillysally for sharing that with us,never being a mother myself,i do not understand the feelings involved,but I do have the feelings of a man,and compassion
has been known to wash over me!

I have met hungry children on all this worlds continents,and have where possible
helped a little,and have brought pencils,books,and pens to schools where children
could not afford them.

We can all do a little bit towards helping,as a giant retailer here in Englands
slogan says "every little helps" I will not name the store in question.

May I take this opportunity sillysally to wish you and all your family a very
peaceful and happy Christmas.

regards michael.
