> My husband gets real upset when he catches someone looking at Daylin. I guess I'm the one that gets upset when people stare at Jacob. It doesn't bother Duane. I've seen people actually walk into things staring! ( And I do laugh!!) She does not volunteer to take care of him or even hold him at times. I know that she loves him but this was the first outwardly expression of it. I know how you feel. Duane's mom don't help us with Jacob at all. And its not cause she doesn't love him, its cause she is afraid. She isn't embarrassed by him, but I think he intimidates her. She once said she was afraid to watch him for fear he would die and she wouldn't never forgive herself, cause she didn't know if she could have done something to prevent it. (she knows CPR). I can comprehend............ Reatha, mom to Jacob, 13yrs, T-19q, and wife to Duane, my soulmate Hendersonville, NC redu@xxxxxxxxxxxxx --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
