Thank you for sharing!

I am on my 29th journal. Sometimes I write every day. Sometimes there are months and sometimes years between the entries. Doing it my way works for me.

wow 29! I might be in double digits too but not in the 20s yet. Way to write your heart out when it works for you. :) Thank you for sharing and I'm curious...where do you keep all those journals and do you ever go back and read some?

I love to go back and remember! They are very useful for that. I have a dresser in the attic, they are all in order there.

When my nephew committed suicide as a teenager, I waited about a year, and then I sorted through all my entries that included him and things we did together as he grew up. I copied them all into another book. A book of my relationship with Johno. And I gave it to his father, because that was a piece of Johno that Kevin didn't have.

Oh Claudette... I'm so sad to hear about your nephew Johno. What a gift you gave Kevin with your writing and to yourself. Sending you hugs.

What we can’t do alone we often can do together. With the support and strength of our Higher Power. With the love of friends and family.

Your story-your book-will always be an inspiration to countless families. And to me. Many thanks, Julie.
