...I hope and pray that this young boy will have a happy life despite the hardships he has already endured. You never know when someone will use the tragedy in his life, to overcome so many odds, and maybe even help others.

An inspiring story. The original John D. Rockefeller was a strictly religious teetotaler because his father was a notorious drunk and philanderer. He wanted to protect his mother and siblings, and developed systematic habits and self-discipline.

I didn’t realize that. My friend is also a teetotaler, and with her background. I don’t blame her one bit.

My other friends and I often tell this friend that she should write a book about her life. Seriously, she’s one of a kind and a treasured friend. I have never met anyone like her before. I think she a living saint.

I also meant to say that I’m happy to have at least shared one tiny bit of her story with others. She’s the kind of person who is too humble to toot her own horn, but her idea of helping as many kids as possible is of paramount importance.Shes a true gem, and I hope to take on some of her attributes.
