All i can do is make sure he has a soft place to land on. It is amazing and terrifying loving with your heart running around outside your chest. I cannot imagine what your parents went through.

The impulse would be to wrap you up in soft blankets -- or, as we used to say back in the day, in cotton wool -- and carry you around on a pillow! You're right: this experience, your response, your parents' response, and everything that came from those must have played a HUGE role in your being who you are today. I only hope the other kids that monstrously broken child "care" worker hurt came through half as well as you did, you awesome guy! <3Marian Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15842321321484056422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6394346673437774065.post-77081056839689615702016-01-17T06:37:10.161-08:002016-01-17T06:37:10.161-08:00Stephen,
We all have so many obstacles we are face...Stephen,<br />We all have so many obstacles we are faced with thorough our lifes and some handle it well and some do not.<br />You were able to make a tragedy into a positive, not only because of the loving parents and family and friends that surrounded you, but because of the person who you are at your core. <br />When good people are faced with tragedy and difficulties they take those and make themselves better and the world around them. You are a shining example of this.<br />You know I have read all of your EPIC FANTASY SERIES well except( you know the one) but maybe you should write another book. An Autobiography.<br />Your journey could give hope to others who have been put in situations that have sent their world in a dramatically different direction then they planned. Just a thought.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing with all, I knew the story already but it's always nice to hear a positive story that is still being written.<br />Dee Dee Kingdeedeekinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11330056503844401558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6394346673437774065.post-55265418507613952022016-01-16T18:59:15.156-08:002016-01-16T18:59:15.156-08:00@Terry Thank you for the comments.

This is a story I held back on sharing for awhile, but now I am at a point where I am fully comfortable with talking about it. Appreciate you reading it. :) sgzimmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16350614644688746998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6394346673437774065.post-10646666039194793952016-01-16T18:39:19.761-08:002016-01-16T18:39:19.761-08:00Something I did not know about your youth.
