The bond...

One of my friends, Amanda, has an adorable blog called Little B that spotlights a picture a day of her beautiful baby girl.  Recently, she had a scary mishap (aka Little B rolling off her couch, read more about it and more here).  I remember those days - when your heart stops and you hurt for them, worry for them....you feel that thump, as if it were your own.  Actually, I still have those days.  Scary, frightful, never let them go moments.  I remembered this quote, (forgive me if I've mentioned this one before) that my boss said to me when I was pregnant with my first...
