The writer is director of the Regional Transportation District. Not by her natural mother. Not by her adopted mother. Not by her grandparents. Candace should have been smothered by love, the strongest force in the world.
Love is the glue that bonds friend to friend, parent to child.
I don't know what kind of training the therapist had beyond the suggested use of force to train a child. Force isn't even used on dogs or horses in training programs anymore. I have been amused by the postal workers union's concern that the proposed elimination of the Saturday postal delivery would produce a worsening service to the public. I could easily do without the Saturday delivery when most of the country is not working anyway. A longstanding complaint I have is that the postal workers, being federal employees, take all the national holidays but the vast majority of the country works on holidays.
