[blparent] My story and request for help

Tue Apr 23 02:34:45 UTC 2013

The good thing is that nobody has to consult you, Gabe, to determine if she 
is ready to have a baby or not.  Life happens.  Pipi is taking a new step in 
her journey by going to training, which is commendable.

Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may 
kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at 
evening.--Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.

I'm of the opinion, that may be blind people should have the appropriate 
life skills, before having babies.
