But they were there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1247006163860528093.post-19701311524693031652012-06-07T23:11:10.478-05:002012-06-07T23:11:10.478-05:00Steve I thought of You when I went to the Wisdom K...Steve I thought of You when I went to the Wisdom Keepers gathering then again when we went to the resturant I saw a poster for the Circle of Life gathering .<br /> I really thought of attending too but I was honestly so tired from driving and having visitors for the Wisdom Keepers .but Steve maybe I am just a mum , a homemaker but I know about your son because of Your blog . I know your journey and struggle others have gone through because you take the time to share . it may not seem like much but if your sharing touches , helps one person , that has to be a good thing . I've lost two friends and a cousin to suicide , no children of mine buso I can't even begin to imagine the loss for a parent . it is the worst pain I think it must be because we've been close to loosing a child via illness and it was terrifing .<br /> so with you sharing we do know your pain in some way and as a Mum & parent have such sorrow for you and your family .<br />My eldest son loves thunderbird house , it is his connection to going back to who he is when the rush of school , downtown , looking for work all build up , he can go to the sweat and share , laugh , be himself . it has led him to want to learn more .I get mad too and its okay to get mad when we see others harming their own . the party house where a woman was killed continued partying 5 days later as if nothing had happened . it made me so mad . there are ways to handle situations . I think telling someone to go pee in the bush across the road rather then on the house is fine , maybe they didn't even think about unless you spoke up . my nieghbours , well I'm not going to speak up when they are partying because frankly I might get stabbed but when they are sober I can remind them my kid is sleeping and his window faces the street they are out yelling and swearing on .<br />anyway I just wanted you to know ordinary people do learn and read your blog and your sharing is worth something .Thanks for all You do ♥Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
