Happy Mother's Day Mom

Just a letter from Jamie off of his TWLOHA blog.
Thought it was encouraging.



Hey Guys.

We hope that today is a day that you can tell and show your Mom that you love her, that you are thankful for her life and for her place in yours. We hope that today is a day to pause and celebrate.

We also know that it's a difficult day for a lot of people. If you are without your Mom today, because of loss or pain or distance, we want to say that we're sorry. We're sorry for your pain and for your questions.

If you are somewhere in the middle, please know that redemption still happens, that healing still happens. Hope and change still happen. Please don't give up on your story. Please don't give up on the stories around you.

If you are a daughter and things are broken, please know that there is hope for you. To break the cycle. To be a great mother to your own son or daughter someday. If that is your dream, then please know that it's possible.

Wherever today finds you, we want to take this moment to say that we're with you, that your life matters, your story matters. The places you came from, the places you'll go.

You are not alone today.

Peace to you.
jamie

Thanks for turning me on to that, Jules. There is nothing better than seeing love in action. I used to volunteer for YDI, a youth crisis hotline and I have been doing a Bible study in the local youth detention center almost every week for 11 years. Fringe kids are my kids. :)
Yes, it is inspiring. I think we can all share our lives with the youth, we can offer our own experiences and have compassion. I would like to think all of the hard times growing up weren't for nothing. NO, they obviously built character and patience, but compassion most def.!
I think that is wonderful what you are doing Glen, inspiring and caring.
