Dr. Laura:
I "bundle dropped" newspapers 21 years ago in Nebraska. I did it in the afternoon, so I could take my 5 and 3 year old kidlets with me. We listened to your show while I was doing my rounds.
Every once in a while you would say something extraordinarily "golden," so I would jot it down on one of the newspaper bundle "toppers." I was going through some old papers the other day, and guess what I found? That "topper" paper loaded with some of your best gems! One of my favorites was "what a child needs is more important than what you want."
You helped me through a rough parenting time in my life with your wise advice. I am a better person and mother because of you. I love it when that paper "pops up" among my things, as it has done every so often over the past 21 years. I will never throw it away. I leave it just as it is -- words of wisdom scribbled on an old newspaper sheet, just waiting for me to rediscover it.
