Anne's sacrifice...

We have a wonderful woman who takes care of Erez one day a week. She's from Kenya, 48, and the mother of 4 kids who live in Nairobi.

She speaks often of her "responsibility" and the need to "sacrifice" as a parent. The entire reason why she is in the US is to earn money so that her children, all of whom are back in Kenya, can go to graduate school. Shes' got another 4 years or so, by her calculations, before she can return to her family.

You think that once you raise your kids, your job is done, but Anne doesn't feel that way. It never ends.
