Hi, listers.

I don't read the list too often, so I know there's been a lot of
activity since I wrote back in October. I was tired and frustrated
about so many aspects to being a blind parent. So many of you
responded with supportive, thoughtful words. Rebecca, I enjoyed your
story so much about everything you learned from your daughter about
dolphins. Steve, you had very wise words, too. Everyone was helpful.
Just wishing you all happy holidays from someone who's grateful that
this list is here.
