I'm given hope that God desires to heal us where we've been injured, and doesn't want to leave us in the isolated state we find ourselves in. I only wish it wasn't such a long road through uncovering hidden wounds and healing through them. It can get discouraging and long, and I've barely begun this long road. Please keep this up. Lois Dr Townsend,

Tears flowed as we began the drive home. My second son, three years his younger, was sitting in the back seat, patiently waiting for me to take a breath between what had become sobs. "Mom" he said to get my attention, and he then handed me a chocolate bar. Laughing and crying at the same time as two thoughts ran through my head, "I care for you mom, and I am still here" The two best gifts my son received from his parents when he left for school were 1. Prayer 2. AAA card. The prayer needs no explanation. The AAA card came in handy when he called me in a fret, "I am stuck in a snow bank!" Priceless.

This is a much happier trip than my trip with two round trip tickets and one one-way ticket. This trip was with my mother for my father's burial. Blessing to you and your children.

I have a garden, so I am going to up the food production, and feel better than ever having saved so much money, not having to spend so much at the store. I like your support, John.

I had done psychotherapy for four years, then had been happy and content for twelve years. I am 47 now, and had waned into a vague phase during the last tew years. I contacted my former psyc., and now we do telephone therapy (I am out of the area). I told him that I am writing to combine, whatever that means, but here I am again doing the work. I will continue to persevere and do whatever pain there is to do. I have big goals and dreams! Intense competition is fun! (my psyc is competitive, and he is fun) Thank you for the encouragement, John.
