chickadee Member Registered: 09/26/04 Posts: 3910 Loc: Alabama	Dianne, how could I have been born and raised by an (unknowingly step) father who treated me better than your daddy did. It pains me to hear how miserable little children are treated. I really don't know if we were rich/poor in the monetary sense growing up. I just knew I didn't get everything I wanted but I never went cold or hungry and God was a part of our lives. chick

Searcher Member Registered: 10/11/05 Posts: 645 Loc: boise	Well, Dianne, They must have lived very sad, miserable lives. For you are such a gift to all of us. Here they had the most beautiful gift right in front of them, and they missed it. It IS sad for them, but happy for us!!!! Flipper - that's just tragedy in the truest sense. Search

Dianne Queen of Shoes Registered: 05/24/04 Posts: 6123 Loc: Arizona	Thanks girls. Today, my dad has Parkinsons (which put a stop to the hate mail he sent out as he can't write anymore) and has one health problem after another. My mom gets irritated with him for his illnesses. Such compassion but then, he's receiving the treatment he dished out all of his life. I've chosen to love them from a distance. Very long distance.

Dianne Queen of Shoes Registered: 05/24/04 Posts: 6123 Loc: Arizona	You gals are so sweet. Hey, I'm a school project. A girl in the 11th grade has been emailing me as she's doing a project on my book for some class. Wanted more information on me. I thought that was cute so now, we're emailing each other back and forth. I think I have a pen pal! She said my book taught her a lot. I didn't know teenagers even read my book but I guess they do.

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	Dianne, I bet she is tickled. Can you imagine being in high school and having a real live author as a pen pal? She must feel like she's on top of the world. Good for you.

Dianne Queen of Shoes Registered: 05/24/04 Posts: 6123 Loc: Arizona	She seems really sweet. Lives in Maryland. Asked her mother to pick out a "deep" book for her and she brought my book home. I don't know if she's thrilled or just being polite. I'm not sure I'd want to email a 58 year old woman if I was in the 11th grade.
