Re: families

[Guest guest]

,

I am so sorry...I wish I could take away the pain. I know how painful

families can be. I wonder how your family members would feel if they

had gone through what you have been through? Unfortunately sometimes

it takes going through something to know the pain. Yet, I don't

understand their total lack of compassion towards you! You don't

deserve that! I'm keeping you in my prayers and wish there was

something I could do to make you feel better.
