One of the first people I told about Cori's pregnancy was a good friend. You should quit. You have lost all credibility. As I silently gazed at him, I could see he regretted his outburst. But I understood his response.
Transparency can make many people uncomfortable, can trigger destructive reactions.
However, I believe far more good can emerge from openness. But still his response took the wind out of me. Maybe I should quit, I wondered. Maybe if I had cared more for my daughter and less for the unfortunate, this would not have happened. Maybe I have lost all credibility.
