Hi, I LOVE YALL and I'm terribly grateful that you've helped me through these last terrible months. I shouldn't say terrible months in a way. It hasn't been all terrible. I've met yall and I'm so grateful. I'm not dead... I just want to concentrate mainly on my writing. If that doesn't work I have to get a J O B eek.... *Smile* Seriously I have been wanting to write a book well actually several books that are geared toward children. I want to write books that will comfort them if they are the victims of abuse... emotional, physical or sexual and other painful situations. I want to write childish poetry that will make them smile and comfort them when they cry. I guess I want my books to do what I can not. I want to hug them and tell them I love them. Most of all I want these babies to understand that its not their fault. And now you are reading the intro to my books... What do you think? I've got lots of dreams and I haven't been following them. I am not saying goodbye and I will be checking in from time to time so please drop me a line now and then... Hugs Elissa

YOU GO GIRL! YOU\'RE DOING WHAT I MYSELF HAVE GOT TO GET BUSY ON TOO. MAMA WANTED ME TO HAVE MY POETRY PUBLISHED IN MEMORY OF HER, BUT I SIMPLY DON\'T HAVE IT BACK YET. YES I HAVE MANY POEMS I\'VE WROTE OVER THE YEARS BUT I\'M UNSURE ABOUT ANYTHING NEW I HAVE WRITTEN, IT STILL DOESN\'T FLOW FROM ME LIKE IT ONCE DID. IT SEEMED TO DIE WITH MAMA AND IT HASN\'T COME BACK TO ME YET.
ELISSA YOU ARE GOING TO DO THIS, I HAVE FAITH IN YOU TO ACCOMPLISH WHAT YOU SO DESIRE. YOU HAVE HELPED ME SO MUCH, DO ME ONE FAVOR, WRITE ONE BOOK EXCLUSIVLY FOR YOUR GRAND BABIES. IT WILL COMFORT THEM WHEN THEY MISS YOU AND THEIR MAMA, YOU HAVE THE GIFT TO HELP HEAL THEIR HEARTS AND YOU ARE THE CLOSEST TO THEIR MAMA. THEY WILL FEEL SO SPECIAL TO HAVE A BOOK ALL THEIR OWN FROM THEIR OWN GRAM.
I LOVE YOU FOREVER AND HOPE AND PRAY ALL YOU DESIRE COMES YOUR WAY, YOU DESERVE SO MANY GOOD THINGS. DON\'T FORGET US BECAUSE I PERSONALLY NEED TO KNOW HOW YOU ARE DOING FROM TIME TO TIME..... LOVE KIMMIE
It is a wonderful idea! I am so proud of you doing that! Lots of hugs! Love, lana

I love what you\'re doing, In my job we work with a lot of state custody kids. They need you.
Take good care of you and may your dreams come true! ((((love you))))
i am so glad that you are going after your dream. i can understand what you want to do. i wrote a kid\'s book in junior high as part of a home ec class and at one time thought that i would like to write kid\'s books or open a day care center since i would love to play with kids all day and get paid for it.
getting a job make take your mind off things any may make you feel better too. :)
Good luck and don\'t forget the part about checking in...Love U and I think it\'s a great Idea...
Good for you, I can\'t wait to read them. Lots of hugs, jake\'s mom, kathy
