of reading about others doing it.  i thank you my friend.  spend all the time you can with your dear lucy.  believe me even when the days seem to go so slow and everything is going wrong,step back, look at her through new eyes because before you know it she will be grown.  i know it seems impossible right now, but it will all be over so soon.  love her, love her, love her, and hang on for the
