Learning

We bought books.so many We read pages by the thousand We asked friends, help groups We camped in libraries We panicked, we worried We were overwhelmed No understanding, no experience We were so lost in this new world Then it happened, and later came We discovered to be parents You write your own learning 1990

Hello Graham, I am a widow never became a parent. Yet I know that there is no book on how to be a parent. Couples just do the best they can to raise their children. Enjoy yur day my friend.

Hello Graham, oh i am so sorry to hear that you lost your partner. How long have you been a widower? I just wondering. For me it is 5 years. I have no children. You have good memories of your children growing up. Enjoy your day my friend. .
