Wow! Great ending. I can’t believe I left something similar to this in my comment to Part 1!

I don’t believe in coincidences, so I know I was supposed to read this entry. In the last two weeks, my home has become a revolving door to teens and their problems. One parent called me and thanked me saying his daughter said she liked to talk to me because I listen. She also said I speak like a psychologist?! (She meant it in a good way).

It is important to instill self esteem, self worth and morals in children. They will be able to overcome life’s twists and turns.

Thanks for sharing this great post. Stumbled them both!

@Kevin – I think you are right which is terribly unfortunate. A little time and attention in a kids life can go a long way.

@benny – I enjoyed writing this. Some things just seem to spill out onto the page.

Thanks for your comments and readership!

“It often seems that adults are either blind to situations in kid’s lives or reluctant to get involved.”

It’s usually the former. Great story and I’m glad you shared it!
