    Default A Truly Beautiful Piece about Tay Sachs

    A woman I know through the Tay Sachs world wrote the following for the NY Times. I think it is just beautiful and perfectly expresses the reality of "parenting" a dying child.

    Funny that I just couldn't identify one iota with the Tiger Mom debates. That's because I am a Dragon Mom.
