Hi Stacy, loved your post, the wisdom you shared and your sense of humor! How refreshing to see a young person able to get on with their life and not be so incredibly scarred that they continue to limp through life, but enough about me. :-) I am so very, very, happy that you found a loving family to give you a chance to experience what "real" love is and how it is to be given. Isn't it amazing? I have always found it incredibly sad that as a JW you have to be so isolated from everyone, and everything around you instead of being allowed to build bridges and connect with all walks of life. If you love God with your "whole heart and soul" couldn't you do so without having to stay within certain parameters? Anyway, just wanted to say how much I enjoyed your introduction and look forward to more,
Harper
