Getting to t...Hi Brie, <BR/><BR/>Today is a milestone for me. Getting to the point where we are actually moving ahead into the 2nd treatment seems like winning a hard-fought battle or completing a difficult term at university. <BR/><BR/>Speaking of university days, I miss some of the social history that I read in the early 80s, especially the history of the family in England. I'm convinced that general exposure that material of that kind would change the minds of many people about the entire "family values" debates. Once you realize the inevitability of change and the importance of historical context, your own personal choices can focus more on your values rather than your traditions. That, I think, would be a good thing for everyone. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for writing, Brie. Hope there are occasions for a coffee, tea, or wine in the not-too-distant future. <BR/><BR/>DonDon Spencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09812331053850930421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6654781.post-58284198636234668302008-11-09T20:41:00.000-05:002008-11-09T20:41:00.000-05:00Enjoyed your musings on the definition of marriage...Enjoyed your musings on the definition of marriage, and the meaning of the word "family". Neither has been any more static over the course of human history than anything in life is. It all flows, changes, adapts, evolves .... <BR/><BR/>Thinking of you .... and moved by your musings and use of the language ... and thinking of you more as you head for your next round of chemo <BR/><BR/>BrieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
