[tri-med] Re: Love and marriage and disabled kids!

I don't have any words of wisdom to add, but I just wanted to say
that I loved the caring outpouring of compassion I saw on this
list regards this thread.  This truly represents the best of the
people on this list, and exactly what this list was created to
do.
Kudos to all of you for sharing your experiences.  Now, I'd like
to share a little laugh just to lighten the mood!

THE BOTTLE OF WINE

For all of us who are married, were married, wish you were
married, or wish you weren't married, this is something to smile
about the next time you see a bottle of wine:

Mary was driving home from one of her business trips in Northern
Arizona when she saw an elderly Navajo woman walking on the side
of the road. As the trip was a long and quiet one, she stopped
the car and asked the Navajo woman if she would like a ride.

With a silent nod of thanks, the woman got into the car.

Resuming the journey, Mary tried in vain to make a bit of small
talk with the Navajo woman. The old woman just sat silently,
looking intently at everything she saw, studying every little
detail,
until she noticed a brown bag on the seat next to Mary.

"What in bag?" asked the old woman.

Mary looked down at the brown bag and said, "It's a bottle of
wine. I got it for my husband."

The Navajo woman was silent for another moment or two.

Then speaking with the quiet wisdom of an elder, she said:

"Good trade....."

Take care!
