The poem and article by Cassie DLG. Fejeran last Sunday was very touching. It shows the use of the thought process that went into the final piece. The question she asked, \u201cWhere would I be now if my father is here with me?\u201d has frequented my mind for over 50 years.<\/p>\n
My father died six days before I was five and, yes, there\u2019s the lingering question of the \u201cwhat might have been\u201d if he were here today. There\u2019s also my stepfather who brought us up through \u201cthick and thin\u201d to which I am profoundly grateful. He was a great patriarch considering what he had to work with.<\/p>\n
You have done exceedingly well, Cassie, for all that you had to endure since Day 1. It reflects sheer determination to move past mind-numbing challenges most youngsters will never experience in a lifetime. Indeed, you\u2019ve certainly earned your dues. That we had to walk through the deep valley of life will make us better people as we meet new challenges.<\/p>\n
Move on in search of the truth and guidance from Divine Providence and si yuus ma\u2019ase for a well-written and very moving article and poem.<\/p>\n
