And so do the parents who notice the anxiety, and work to help their children learn to, mmm, not so much live with it, but live despite it? to live boldly, to take scary leaps. I didn't learn it so much from my parents, but through trial and error...still learning to un-do some of the things I've done in order to manage living with anxiety. anxious children hold such a special place in my heart.

I love your new identity. I hear only out of one ear and therefore cannot locate sounds. I was 25 when I lost hearing in one ear and it seemed like a big deal--but I have several friends who grew up with hearing in one ear who talk about it as this all-pervasive but almost invisible issue in their lives that shaped who they are. There can be other explanations--but definitely check his hearing. Welcome back! I love your new identity.

That must drive him nuts. He'd be constantly looking in forty different directions at once. Glad to see you back. And not just a mum. You're right. We're a lot more than that, important as 'that' is. It's so nice to explore every other interesting thing that we are. (And just on a side note... I finished knitting my first sock. If only they didn't tend to come in pairs....) Poor Daniel!
