Your website then was my biggest support.

We met back in 2006, in Austin at St.Davids. I and my daughter, Britanny, who was then 16 years old were new to the site. Your website then was my biggest support and we came to know that so many others are struggling through very similar issues. Today Brittany is 21 and married almost a year ago. Britanny now lives here in Austin and had gone for a year in San Diego. After her gamma knife operation, we had to wait the two long years. I am so proud of YOU!!! You are such a wonderful example of turning the hurts and pains of this life into positive! May you be ever so BLESSED!!!
