<DIV>I am so glad that Elder Clara has finally shown her softer side. I wonder if her fear of abandoment had something to do with that tough exterior? Maybe she finally has come to believe that you are really her Forever Mom and that you will always come back for her. I hope for Elder Clara's sake (and yours too) that this new found realization lasts and she enjoys all that loving that goes with it.</DIV>
