It would be like mentioning to someone who had just returned from the Moon that I heard the food wasn't very good there. <br />However, not knowing what I'm talking about has never stopped me in the past, so here goes;<br />Once a scientist has done the research, explored the possibilities, come up with a theory and then proven it, what he or she has, one could say, is really a better idea of what they don't yet know. For me, your blog is like following someones research where what is studied is life, and the instruments used are compassion, positive attitude, and an open mind, maybe with some exasperation mixed in.

I truly wish in my heart that we as a world would do so much more to help those whose lives are so depressed. I wonder so many times will this ever be over? Will there ever be a handle on their despair. Maybe with the help of people like you and me and all that reads this will share it with their friends, family and co-workers. In some way we need to be able to all make a BIG difference wherever we see such abhorant conditions. God bless you and thank you for sharing these pictures and your deep feelings to us all.LASnoreply@blogger.com
