Good on you, Dan. You have gone sky high in my estimation. She will give you many years of happiness. Nothing beats a wanted child. Do what my parents did and tell her that you adopted as soon as she understands. It is the best thing my parents ever did and because of it there are no hang ups.

No mucking about with “Great Gig”… it’s perfect just the way it is.

I hope she’s not dead.

She was a very good teacher and used to complain often, to everyone’s amusement, that the English Channel is as much French as English.

Now what on earth would her “Great Gig” have been like?

Now there’s a thought.

I so agree with you FEd. Although I probably would’ve responded quite well to having a school teacher like that! To have such a gift be a curse (as it so often the case with the greats who feel so deeply and passionately … Edith Piaf comes to mind) must be true hell.
