Do you really think your daughter doesn't pick up on all these emotions you are trying to hide?

Mother Theresa is a saint.

As far as I can tell, very few people are actually "called" to sainthood.....and, when someone is called to sainthood, it seems to be for big, very meaningful, symbolic "task," such as ministering to the lowest of low in a third world country.

Can't say that I've ever heard of anyone being called to sainthood for the task of enabling a miserable addict or alcoholic.
