I want to thank you for taking the time to dedicate a post to me. You're right, it is a very tough time for me right now.
Since March of 1997, I have now lost Two brothers, a sister and both parents. This is very tough for me seeing that I'm only 53.
I don't want to ramble too much, but Allen and I were just reestablishing communication with each other after years of only sporadic contact.
As far as your question on my blog, I will give you that information if you contact me via my email 74wixygrad at gmail dot com
I stopped by, thanks for spreading the word.
That is the best gratitude list I've read in a long time!
What a kind post for a friend. I am just now beginning to understand the bond and connection that is shared here as we walk with each other day by day.
I will pray for Cliff and Allen. May God rest his soul and ease the loss of a brother.
You are very good friend C&C.

I'm sending prayers for Cliff.

I am grateful for you and your writing. You present the positive and the solutions. Thanks for that.
I will check out Cliff. I'm thankful, along with you, that at least my youngest will (hopefully) never have to know me using.
You are such beautiful soul....
Thank you for your nice comment on my page about my book! You always have the nicest things to say and are always super excited!! You have a great heart, although I knew that long ago from your writing. You're stronger than I'll ever be!!
