Mother - Is there a reason I'm not an only child?  I mean other than the fact that Daniel was born before me and I'm sure it would have been difficult to maybe sell him to the gypsys.  The fact that he's Daniel would have made that a tough sale but you could have maybe gave him away?  And Alex and Katie?  Don't get me wrong.  I love all three of them.  And that's the problem.  I stay up at night tossing and turning and worrying about these people whos lives I have no control over.  Daniel's the oldest, he's employeed, healthy (disgustingly healthy), happy, and in general doing just fine.  I still worry.  Alex is smart, snappy and has the drive to be anything he wants.  He's young though so he's making all those fun mistakes that I made and Daniel made and in general 70% of kids make.  And Katie, oh Katie, that girl gives me ulcers.  I don't even know where to start or even end when it comes to her.  I understand that I am only one person.  I can barely control my own actions, emotions and life let alone anyone elses.  But for some reason I feel this need to worry and stress over them.  Go figure.  Wonder where I get that from.  Couldn't be you could it?

Love,
Julie
