Well got thru the weekend, we dropped off Theresa and Lauren for their weekend at comfortzonecamp, thanks goodness for this place I can not say enough about them, they are wonderful, Lauren was nervous before we left and started to say she didnt want to stay , the Bigs and circle leaders went out of their way to make her feel comfortable, and when I came Sun to pick them up, there she was jumping and yelling and playing volleyball. Theresa did fine which I knew she would I am so glad she had a place to talk and let some emotions out, Lauren was able for the 1st time talk and tell her story and feel safe about her emotions..I am so glad she stayed, they want to go again..I wish I could have gotten Kate to go, there were several other teens that went , one that also lost his sister, wish I knew why she is so reluctant to go, I also met some other ladys that unfurtunely are in the same situation they lost their daughter to a car accident, they flew from Florida to have their son attend this camp..I again cant say enough I absolutely love these people....and now we are trying to settle down again and pack away all the feelings and go on in this life...AshTheresa wrote such a nice poem for you I read it to you yesterday at your grave, she wrote it at campMy TeacherThe Sun, the stars, the gallaxy, wherever you might be,I tell you how you affected my life in a big way,you taught me not to be rude,but shrewd,you taught meright from wrong,and how to very strong, and I thank you for that,because without the strength you taught me to have, I couldnt get over the fact that you were gone..Love your little sisTheresa
