[FITZ]

My friend whose ex-wife lost the house, went bankrupt and gave up custody, suddenly found himself raising a pre-teen daughter and faced with having to take her to find bras and the rest. He didn't have a mother or sisters to take on those "duties" but I think he's done pretty well.

I am thankful that my daughter's stepmother accepted Becky as her own, homeschooled her when homeschooling was not a fad and helped her get through those difficult pre-teen and teen years when a girl very much needs a female role model.
