First off, I would like to praise your writing style. It is very lucid and earnest. I once read an article about a young man who became paralyzed waist-down. He of course suffered for a bit, but then realized he still had life left in him. To paraphrase his quote: "You have to do the best with what you got." Now he's a successful, handsome doctor in great physical and mental health. His upper body is so strong as to allow him to perform "chair-ups" -- he pulls both himself and his wheelchair up off the ground. I believe good parenting, like good health, is about "doing the best with what you got". And in my opinion, by continuing to write so your daughter may read in the future, you are doing just that. Keep up the writing, both to her and this blog. We love to read what you post. --Calhoun25

Im happy for you that youve found some peace in writing. I was friends with Tanisha as a kid so when I seen all this happening on the news I was interested. I can tell youve grown alot since the incident and I just wanted to send you a little message because I know how lonely it is and everything is something right? You keep writing, keep staying strong. Keep blessing the world with your knowledge.
Hi Dymitri -- Glad you showed me how to find this resource. Your post is very compelling. No one should be required to live in this kind of environment. Once again we see how humanity's collective evil exceeds its individual evil. Got your long letter. It's excellent. Also I would like to use this post. No time for a long response. Will write. Be patient. jim
Hi I prayed the prayer thank you for sharing I didn't properly believe in this stuff until a few years ago I just felt that Yashiya HaMoshiach who I only knew His name as Jesus Christ then was real and would get me of heroin crack and methadone addiction and He did. Sadly since then imessed up a lot so I'm praying for another chance I'm still of those drugs anyway I hope our Creator God hears and answers you prayers and keeps you safe as possible in that place. From Michelle God bless
Hi Michael Thank God any how for Him delivering you and even if He don't God is still able to do it. Just remember when you are talking to the youth how one ride and one crazy person you riding with can mess things up for a time. But God has really worked on your and I thank God that you have not turned bitter. Be strong and keep the courage and remember Paul in the bible who was locked up. I wont spill the beans.
