Bulletproof strong is what she saw behind this wall of pain.

I just received this beautiful review:
"First, I want to tell you that you write beautifully, and I couldn't put it (the book) down. Second, I don't think I even took a breath while reading. The only time I put it down, even for a moment, was to wipe away tears. Third, At this point in my life I am going through some very difficult things. To read this book and know what you have endured and the fact that you came out bulletproof strong, beautiful and successful made me realize that I can get through it. You truly have inspired me to find my own strength and my courage. It breaks my heart to know that you spent your childhood in that way, and I am sorry you had to. This was by far the most brutally, honest recollection and I am honored to have read it."       Melissa B

To lose a child

Tonight my fingers rest on the keys unable to make a stroke on the computer screen. What do I write to a young mother who has lost her baby? 11years ago my own child was in a serious car accident. I remember every moment of that day. I arrived home from a trip to CO. I pulled a suitcase over the threshold, arriving just in time to hear the telephone ring. I still had ahold of the luggage handle when I reached across the breakfast bar to lift the receiver from the cradle. It was the call.........the one where time stops and the ringing in your head almost deafens the words being delivered to your ear.
