I will...I saw the movie of Not Without my Daughter. I will never forget it!<br />When I saw The Glass Castle photo - I caught my breath! My sister (Deanie) bought it a few years ago and then passed it around the family until all of us siblings and most of our children had read it. We lived a serious dysfunctional childhood ourselves and when I told Amber, see? Ours could have been worse! She replied, "MOM!!! Yours WAS!" <br />That's what the book I'm writing is about......how we survived our childhood. There were seven children born to my mother. One died at birth and two were given away. The four of us that grew up together have all turned out to have wonderful lives and for this we are so very thankful to God! He gave us guardian angels to watch over us. Our children had no clue what our childhood was like......until recent years when we started to finally talk about it. Talking about things that were not really OUR shame to bear can lead to healing and that is a beautiful thing. Healing of hearts and spirits and emotions.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09623820316056914224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3437546297364029186.post-59513159139441551092015-04-29T10:54:03.059-05:002015-04-29T10:54:03.059-05:00Awesome discussion.
