Kathy,

All of us can sit here and tell you not to beat up on yourself for withholding information from Evie. We can all tell you that you did what you felt was right at the time. We can tell you a lot of things, but you have to believe them......

We all do things that we feel are the best at the time, even if they feel wrong. We all make decisions based on things sometimes out of our control. We do things because of love and true concern for the other person....So please don't feel that you need to explain anything...You and Jim did what you felt was best for Evie. You did it out of love and concern. End of story in my book.....

I hope with all my heart that this will help Evie to continue to heal with her emotional struggles with PTSD. She is a sweet kid, with a nasty temper...LOL!!!!!! But sweet non the less. She deserves to be happy, and to have a life filled with happiness and love... Not torture, and nightmares.....

Please tell her that when she is feeling better, I will send her more BORING videos of Pittsfield, and our wonderful cultural life here...GAG!!!!!!!

Hugs to ALL of you, and I do truly hope that all of you can get some well deserved rest soon....

Many hugs,

Wendy
