I have all of my notes since 1993 I have a letter of reference from a
parent after she left that just made me cry. She said she could not be
there for her baby... there was no better person to be a second mother to
her child then me... it was just so sweet...

then another mom from the past called... her son is now 10. she said she is
getting married and she is planning on having another child and that she
needs me to stay in the daycare business for another 5 years at least LOL.
