I was lucky I had my children and my faith to pull me out of that hole.<BR/><BR/>And now, having written way more than I intended to, I will say a prayer for this dear man who has suffered so much tragedy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618294660036743693.post-81747534041950163222008-05-08T20:48:00.000-07:002008-05-08T20:48:00.000-07:00Oooh I will make the appropriate changes to my blo...Oooh I will make the appropriate changes to my blog as well, sorry I misunderstood that.The Pastoral Princesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09794404741706646741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618294660036743693.post-51181787230731514872008-05-08T20:35:00.000-07:002008-05-08T20:35:00.000-07:00Okay.

I have many people in my family who suffer and are medicated - for life. I just don't know how I've been so lucky this far in my life. I'm glad that you can always look forward! I thought I should clear something up about my post. The son was found dead - he did not commit suicide, but we are afraid that the father is contemplating this end for himself. He has made 1 or 2 comments about it. I should go back and proofread my stuff. <BR/><BR/>Thanks again! :)Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00838997136573083008noreply@blogger.com
