What a wonderful list! I was just over at the Kaboose boards and while they had some very nice positive stories in one thread (http://boards.kaboose.com/threads.php?ck=njnnd) where there's a contest, there were also some very sad stories elsewhere on the boards (like a woman who's ex is going to jail, and she doesn't know how to explain it to her 4 year old).
