Posted by -d at September 16, 2003 08:03 PMThe love, courage, faith and conviction in your family is overwhelming. I am pleased you re-posted it as it affirms so much of the wonderful qualities which are conveyed through the words on Nothing But Love.
Posted by Michelle at September 17, 2003 05:36 AMThanks for the repost. I've enjoyed getting to know y'all through your writing, and this just brought into sharper focus what good and caring people you are. Looking forward to continuing to get to know y'all.
Posted by TW at September 17, 2003 10:49 AMWOW. see this feedback is what it's all about. in the real world (as opposed to the virtual world), the message is that we (jax and us) must feel shame. we don't. shame doesn't work. doesn't help. but your lovely feedback DOES. thanks.
Posted by stacey at September 17, 2003 11:47 AMShame? How could anyone ever think that? And to those who do - shame on you. No one is perfect, we all stumble and fall along the way but what counts the most, is how we handle those valleys, the mountains and the curve balls that life throws at us. You, Bill and Jax did an admirable job at overcoming the hardship which had befallen you. You succeeded and that counts more than the the reason why it happened in the first place. Jax has such a great strength of character to change his life around and he should be very very proud of himself and that goes for you and Bill too.
Posted by Michelle at September 17, 2003 04:16 PMThank you for sharing that with us. Our eldest has been very depressed for a year. At one point we couldn't leave him on his own and we had to hide all of the medicines in the house.
Our boys are coming along because of 'the family' taking care of them. What must it be like for all those who don't have a family?
Bless you
