My fellow Lactnetters,

I felt compelled to write about Esther's article in the newspaper in Israel.
It really is a wonderful article.  But while I was reading it I burst into
tears.  Shocked, it took me a little bit to figure out why.  And then it
hits me, I am so freaked out about going to war.

To our friends in the Middle East and other places filled with strife, today
I will keep you in my thoughts, cradling you like I have my own child.  I am
so thankful that there are people still nurturing babies and mothers.  I am
thankful that mothers, babies, and families have thoughtful caring humans to
nurture them.  And I am so thankful for Lactnet, a place where we can meet
and improve the world one baby at a time.

Shalom,
Nikki Simmons
