As a teen I wondered why no one really helped, but by my mid-twenties I realized that everyone did the best they could. And my journey has refined me in so many ways. I likely would choose it again...well...maybe... ;-) Dear Susan,
No regrets. As a teen I wondered why no one really helped, but by my mid-twenties I realized that everyone did the best they could. And my journey has refined me in so many ways. I likely would choose it again…well…maybe… ;-)

God definitely held you by the hand during that time of despair and led you into the radiant life you lead today. Your strength and courage are amazing. I think I will always regret not being there to help you during that time..not for lack of desire to do so, but purely out of ignorance of the situation. I also grieve for others that may have, likewise, been suffering without my knowledge. On the positive side, you are the wonderful wife, mother, teacher, grandma and writer that you have become because you were able to stay strong and endure.... and then to break the cycle and fly!

Maybe this helps explain why I can see the light beyond the dark in most situations. I know of its existence. I've found it many times myself. Thank you, V.

What a testimony to see that what was sown in your early life didn't yield bitterness but love--of life, of family, of good things and good people. I'm sorry for every weekend you spent holding your breath, experiencing so much pain and anxiety, and I'm grateful to be part of your online world today.
