Ask Amy: Mother wonders if daughter is too happy

Amy Dickinson, Tribune Content Agency on

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.
