It's not often the message we hear, is it?

You’ve outdone yourself, my friend. Sheri and I were so fortunate to find this and read it this Easter week. What a gift you are. We’ll be reminding each other of it and discussing our impressions for a while, I’m sure. But we both agreed the honesty of it rivals anything we’ve ever read. My goodness. Your voice is so needed.

Now I'm crying a bit. I don't take these words lightly. Thanks friend.

I would say it’s too beautiful for words but you put the beauty into the words. I was mid way when I felt a little tear tracing a path on my cheek; Jackie this is poetry and thank you for being vulnerable enough to share it.
