Thankful for those in my life Hi Ken. I read your piece yesterday. It brought deep down emotions to the surface and brought tears to my eyes. I have been thinking upon your message ever since. I connected to your story in so many ways. I was not meant to be; I was rejected by a mother whose career meant more and a father who didn’t want me. But I was saved by my mother’s family whose values and principles caused them to reach out and catch me in the catcher’s mitt. Three other women sent me around the field to home base where the home base catcher (Paul) caught me and opened my mind and heart. Your article brought all this to light as I went back over my life & career. I never put it all together until now. I’m thankful to you for it. Although most of my friends have left the station, I will reach out to the ones who remain & tell them how thankful I am to have them in my life. I promise, Ken. I promise.
