Dear Nisis - that's a wonderful idea. I printed the letter and I will share it
with them over the weekend. My oldest son was totally hearbroken today because
his girlfriend of two years - Wendy, who is in the Mol-album, broke up after 2
years. His cousin of 19 committed suicide just 3 weeks ago being despondent over
a break up - believe me it hit close to home and brought back very sad recent
memories. One hurts so much and feels so helpless when one's kids are hurting
and broken-hearted. But that is life - just have to make sure they don't do
anything rash !!!! I have no doubt these past 2 years have been very difficult on
my children - I keep wishing they had a normal happy carefree life -
unfortunately our reality since d'x has been anything but - I have no doubt that
part of what they do is typically teenage in nature - in others they are looking
for attention - albeit negative attention. I think some sort of support for the
kids would be a wonderful idea.Must go get dinner for the kiddos....You too are
all in my prayers. Much love. Cori.
