I think she works around 12 hours daily now.<br><br>And all I can say is it's not the quantity of time but the quality that counts.<br><br>Yes, we would all love to spend more time with the people we love. But sometimes, we have to do things that aren't all that fun (read: work) to take care of the people we love. And though it's not ideal, they'll understand as long as we're there when it counts.<br><br>Take care!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-161067251191887469.post-24435913529927676292008-01-13T00:07:00.000-05:002008-01-13T00:07:00.000-05:00What a sweet and kind post in honor of your baby!Y...What a sweet and kind post in honor of your baby!<br><br>You have NO need for guilt.

It's such a beautiful picture,the joy in your face and the serenity of your daughter lying peacefully in your arms. No wonder it's your favourite - it speaks volumes. <br><br>Your love for you daughter is obvious and I'm certain she's fully aware of your devotion to her. Whether you work long hours or not, she knows she means everything to you. That's something too many kids are not aware of and grow up without. <br><br>Happy birthday to your daughter :) <br><br>*hugs*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-161067251191887469.post-11826352925743619182008-01-18T09:18:00.000-05:002008-01-18T09:18:00.000-05:00She will never be "gone_ - your bond will only gro...She will never be "gone_ - your bond will only grow tighter.
