My dad was stationed at Fort Monmouth for just 6 months. One girl felt so bad for me that I didn't have any that she finally gave me a pair of hers that didn't fit any more.

That's somewhat of a necessary one sometimes, and I think you've done a fantastic job.<br /><br />Debbie - Resiliency is key.

That was my perspective, anyway. I still want to do everything myself and not count on anyone else to do it. I'm learning to ask my husband for help when I need it, though. He's always happy to help.Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04587300140099806425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5494655959430218526.post-86104169119247117362010-06-23T23:43:14.425-05:002010-06-23T23:43:14.425-05:00I moved around a lot too as a kid.

We planned when we were going and I could hardly wait. When we got there, I got a pair and the coolest rainbow shirt in the world! <br /><br />I've learned a lot from having to navigate around people from different socio-economic backgrounds. <br /><br />Stop by when you get a Claudya Martinezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17034216831504207496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5494655959430218526.post-7941091293150381282010-06-23T22:50:03.744-05:002010-06-23T22:50:03.744-05:00Lessons learned in childhood are the best - they s...Lessons learned in childhood are the best - they stick with you forever. I think growing up on a farm gave me a broader view of the circle of life, and how unfair things are.
