Today was day 1 at the reliant Arena. I thought there was going to be a bad element there. Where I could trust no one. The people there were nicer than some people that live here. I was surprised when I saw kids with smiles on there faces just because of the free little teddy bear. When they have nothing else to play with. Most of my job is listening to peoples story's. Which was in some cases was difficult to do. I hope them having someone listening to there story makes there day a little better. The smallest thing could change these people's life's.

Thanks sent to you from Fort Bend County Spawn - it isn't easy to listen to the stories, but you are right, they are in shock and need to talk about it -

Believe me, it is! Sometimes all it takes is a sympathetic ear to make a difference. In talking about it, they're processing it, learning to deal with it -- and beginning to orient themselves away from it, to look forward instead of back.

It won't be done in a day, a week, or a year. But the sooner they begin the turning away, the sooner the healing will come. God bless you!

Nice work there, Spawn-o!
You make us all proud.

The people there were nicer than some people that live here.

I'm assuming you mean there in the house?? ;-)
Welcome aboard!
