Looking back at my childhood, I'm pretty sure I was a spirited child, and while I'm quite different from the rest of my family, I'm so thankful that they stuck with me through it all.Sandy Longhornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04735445958970512617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357502225394324130.post-8166336729581748342011-03-08T05:49:31.405-08:002011-03-08T05:49:31.405-08:00Gerry, for some reason I'm not surprised at al...Gerry, for some reason I'm not surprised at all that you have experience Living With Spirit :).

Because the spirited child who caused me so many pillow-pounding nights has turned into a man with character and purpose and a joyful capacity for love, in spite of all the ways I screwed up. The one thing I did right was to hold fast to a Churchillian stubbornness. I never gave up. Never, never, never . . . and he knew that for all my flaws, he could count on me.Gerryhttp://torchlakeviews.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
