Life for many children growing up when I was younger was a romantic dream of sorts on many days. We lived on stories of fairies because we were part of the Girl Guide movement, and storytelling was the way we learned about right and wrong, good and bad. There were also stories from local folklore which seemed to give credence to the existence of a magical kingdom. Even attending bible study and Sunday Mass seemed to be a part of the fantasy conspiracy we called reality. It was not until I turned ten or eleven yea...
Life Happens... and then we talk!
