hi kookie33ray ... If I were you I'd check out the family and friends section of the board and read some of the info there :)

We are the girls with anxiety disorders, filled appointment books, five-year plans. We take ourselves very, very seriously. We are the peacemakers, the do-gooders, the givers, the savers. We are on time, overly prepared, well read, and witty, intellectually curious, always moving… We drink coffee, a lot of it. We are on birth control, Prozac, and multivitamins… We are relentless, judgmental with ourselves, and forgiving to others. We are the daughters of the feminists who said, “You can be anything,” and we heard, “You have to be everything." - Courtney Martin.

I agree, check out the family and friends board :) I think it's really good that you don't just want to push it aside.

Make sure you take care of yourself as well as your daughter

"To me, photographyis an art of observation. It's all about finding something interesting in an ordinary place... I've found it has little to do with the things you see, and everything to do with the way you see them."

Just have to echo the others, we have a special "family and friends" section for you specifically.

Take care of yourself :redstar:
