It's a wonderful reminder that we're not raising kids (even though we usually think we are). What we're really doing is raising adults... who just happen to be passing through the tenderest, most vulnerable learning stage of their life. I salute your patience, your kindness and your wisdom. I was on the part-time father side of the equation when my 3 daughters were young, and one thing that sustained me during that time was knowing that they would be adults for far longer than they would be children. I kept my attention rivited on that, always taking the long view. It has paid off wonderfully. Cheers from warm and smiling Thailand, Charles Russ, I love this story.

Children, especially at a young age, are so affected by their environment. Its great to hear that little Ambrosia is taking things in her stride and approaching every challenge she faces with wisdom beyond her years. Every challenge has a kernel of good for sure and I do hope the love and affection your child receives from you creates a wonderful childhood for her... take care, Krishna Hi Russ,

I hope through this blog to convey a message of hope that within EVERY challenge; EVERY difficulty, there are treasures beyond imagination and expectation. No one escapes difficulty and challenges in this journey called life. Therefore, we need to train ourselves to see what these experiences really are - gifts and opportunities for tremendous growth. In everything, be grateful. When you <em>Love That Feeling</em>, everything changes for the better... ALWAYS! Kelly

I've just read this post and it almost made me cry! It sounds like you're being an AMAZING influence to Ambrosia, and when she's older and able to see this she'll be grateful for having had you all these years -I'm sure she's already happy to have you now, as you can tell by the fact that she's quick to confide in you, but when she's older she'll be able to see more clearly what an important role you've played in her life. Thank you for sharing this beautiful and encouraging story!! Hello Russ, I came across your blog through the Problogger forums and a comment you left in mine.
