My Dr. Laura 'Pop Up'


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.

Rebecca
