in the NYC/NJ area: I just received good news from my good friend and teach=

pediatric unit in a Washington DC hospital, she is due in September and the=
 mom-to-be is young (20-something). Our new single mom, =C2=A0school nurse =
is also a part-time nurse in a local hospital, she said they are begging fo=

ery short.=C2=A0</div><div><br></div><div>If you are like me you have loved=
 ones across the globe, and many at different ages and health conditions, m=
