I like the numbered approach.

1) You write so beautifully.
2) I used to listen to Jay Sev. and just get pissed off and pissed off and more pissed off... It was like crack, I just couldn't turn it off, but I couldn't stand it!
3) I think it's so interesting what people think is okay to say to someone in response to their public writing. People should have to leave voice messages so they can actually hear how those words sound coming out of their mouths. How offensive they could be. This isn't you reporting on a lifestyle that you have researched, this is you being open and bare about the life you lead and the family you love.
4) Did I ever tell you that while trying to explain the differing relationships that my friends have to my mother, I told her about your family and she said, "What could be better than 2 parents loving their child? 3 parents loving their child"
5) I hope that my baby has Nadia's hair, I've got the curls and Fred's got the blond.

Thanks! You're sweet. Honestly, of the disagreeing letters I've gotten, that was one of the more polite. It was only addressing the issues, not attacking me personally. But I generally like it when anyone is moved to write--mostly I'm surprised how rare it is, positive or negative.

And congrats on the impending baby, too! I'm not expecting Nadia's hair to stay blonde, since my brother's started white and darkened a lot, but since Zanne's stayed blonde, is, I guess it's a possibility!
