Dear Eric:

I read your column on Jonathan's site and also your own pages on Planet Waves and they inspire me very much. Thank you for the chance to share in your work. I have however been thinking of our friend Giving Up almost every day since you featured her letter on your page. I'm sure that many of your readers, like me send her our love and prayers that she will find peace in herself and her life.

 

I too have been in the depths of despair many times, mostly during my childhood, but I have been able after many years of help from people to come out of the other side a stronger and wiser person. I learnt to appreciate the small things in life like the sun rising each day, the birds singing in the trees and I also learnt that possessions count for nothing -- it's people that matter.

 

Please pass on if you can, my love and thoughts to 'our friend' and the hope that she will always find what she truly needs.

 

With love

Carol
