Maybe they didn't tell you because, as grown-ups often (wrongly) do, they didn't think you could "handle" the news. And thanks for the congrats--still can't believe it!

Funny story for you. I used to babysit when I was 12, 13. One little boy had a problem, a birth defect that required surgery to correct. He was unable to lower his heels and would walk on his toes. Doctors had to surgically correct that -- one leg at a time. To help him heal and encourage him to move, I used things I learned in that book. Years and years later, my mom and I were talking about that baby and I mentioned how I'd used the book about cerebral palsy to help him. She went pale. She revealed the she and the baby's mother agreed NOT TO TELL ME HE HAD CEREBRAL PALSY (I don't know why). <br /><br />Also, congratulations on your Golden Heart win!
