when caring for a child, i get the sense that my actions will have a lasting effect upon the earth. especially as i have grown in to a more mature relationship with my parents, i realize that they helped make me in ways much more profound than genetic material. i appriciate all they have done for me, and i want to return those gifts of nurturing love to a child, biologically 'mine' or not. and i hope there is a time when i'm able to take on that responsibility...there is nothing quite like the overwhelming love that one can feel for a child.
