Laugh like a maniac

Out there in blogland Betty Duffy has been ruminating on the brevity of parenting small children.  Her desire to keep her kids safe from the dangers "out there" has to resonate with every parent.  Thinking on her post led to some discussion with her in the comments box about what a parent can do to pass on the faith and to keep our children safe.  Sooner or later, we must entrust "our" children to God and let them go.  The question of exactly when we start to let go has to be on a case by case basis...and in the end, we can only do the best we can, pray like crazy and laugh like a maniac.
