To Misti Lake ,<BR>
Thank you so much for sharing your story : Where'd You Get Those Pretty Blue Eyes?<BR>
It amazed me how you said so much with so few words...  I felt like I had read an entire book.  It takes tremendous talent to do that.  I could feel what you were feeling.... I could see what you were seeing.  Made my heart go out to you... Having had a dysfunctional childhood myself, I could identify.. It also takes courage to share painful memories. Your writing style and use of words is wonderful... Thank you again for sharing..<BR>

I'm already working on the fourth part of my "Litany of Longing", and, so far, no one has said much about the other three parts. (Except for BK's gracious words last night.) I get the feeling I'm being ignored.

Joey don't feel ignored. 90% of the comments on the board are by one person who likes loads of attention.<BR>
