Today has been a good day, a normal day.
I'm a little concerned about lack of sleep. I have been staying awake until 1-3 a.m. for the past few weeks. Then I'm waking up between 7-8 a.m. What is going on?
I listened to Laurie's voicemail. I was still scared but I did it anyway. I had to remind myself that she couldn't hurt me because her voice was a recording. It turned out to be the opposite of my fear. She apologized and gave me kudos for saying what I said. I wrote her another email and apologized for thinking the worst of her. I had no evidence to back it up. I'm breathing a sigh of relief. I'm so glad she is more mature than I am.
My friend Kim (a friend since first grade) sent an email after she read your book. Here's what she had to say:
Oh Amy....so many emotions are stirred inside of me. I wish I would have known. So many of the children (and me) were dealing with our own hell. You have a knack for remembering things and sharing them from the heart. I am so lucky you trust me.
love you
After reading Kim's response and Anne's response, I'm feeling a nudge from your Holy Spirit to pray for my readers. I don't know what it's like to read a story like mine when you know the person deeply and have loved them through some tough stuff.

I feel undeserving of your love, of their love, of any love at all.
Here's a well loved song that always draws me closer to You.
Your amazed daughter,
Amy Kathleen
