I am so grateful for the opportunity to share these experiences with you -- not just because it is important for others to know how lives are lived in difficult, tired corners of the world, but also because it helps me understand myself and my place in these moments.

My mother's heart breaks reading this - I know how it feels to have a child experiencing things you can't fathom and also how it feels to hold - and lose - a baby.

I am so moved by your thoughtful efforts. You are helping; every day and in ways you will never see directly. It is a roller coaster you will reflect forever.

For now, I hope you are enjoying some chocolate from my grocery cart.<br />Mary Beth Moore<br />(Alex Ruby's mother)Mary Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02640106728927705754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4214872712283264455.post-70600095732196541332010-03-18T17:33:24.192+00:002010-03-18T17:33:24.192+00:00Wow Alex, I can't even imagine having to exper...Wow Alex, I can't even imagine having to experience that.

I know it probably seems like a lot now but its times in our life when we are plagued with uncertainty and challenge that we really find out who we are as human beings. I wish you the best of luck and<br />I hope you have a wonderful year. Looks like all those years at <br />lac du bois are finally going to be put to use. Be safe and keep your spirits high. <br /><br />FinnohDr Banghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14129045070817455446noreply@blogger.com
