I have never heard that story from th...Hey Mom,<br /> I have never heard that story from that perspective before. To me it was always something that was comedic and amusing. Hearing the struggle you went through really touched me. I have always felt the power of your unconditional love. Just imagining my 22 year old Mother, <br />so distraught over my well-being, has brought my to tears. They are powerful, comforting tears. I believe this story is amazing evidence of the fact that we all have our own curriculum for God. A time when you thought everything was lost just ended up being a way for you to deliver a powerful message from God almost 30 years later. This, and other tribulations have allowed you to be a conduit for the power of God's Love. For me, this is true evidence that God has a perfect plan. Whenever things seem bleak, with faith and love, we can create miracles. A true miracle, is a shift in perception. This shift has allowed you to bless others. This is Love. This is God! <br /> Your Loving son,<br /> BrianAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488152270326221518.post-10198061084960728312012-05-04T12:30:53.210-05:002012-05-04T12:30:53.210-05:00Hi Erin!

Thank you so much for all your love and support throughout my journey. You're an amazing woman and I truly admire you. <br />What a wonderful post about the power of forgiveness. I so often beat myself up over things and have to stop myself and remember to not be so hard on myself. The photo of you and your son is precious...you are so loved. <br />Sending love to you!<br />Xoxox<br />MariaMariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16432802762915252080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488152270326221518.post-36613013155704177432012-04-27T23:46:11.175-05:002012-04-27T23:46:11.175-05:00Audra, I'm so glad you visited my blog and joi...Audra, I'm so glad you visited my blog and joined vB!!
