Ask Amy: Mother wonders if daughter is too happy
I am eternally grateful to a woman who offered me a summer job babysitting with her children.
I needed to get away from home as much as possible.
I will always be grateful to that lady. Her children, now grown, still remember the fun we had that summer.
It was a bright spot in an otherwise miserable situation.
– Grateful
Dear Grateful: This is a profound tribute to the healing power offered by the duties and distractions of taking care of children.
