I have been meaning to read The Wizard of Oz- so I have made another note after reading this interview. <br /><br />I am so glad that Sary stepped in at a time when Bish really needed them. Reading her story gave me chills. Glad she is in a better place now. :) <br />Stephanie@Fairday's Bloghttp://thesecretdmsfilesoffairdaymorrow.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5273270228005303883.post-23033691324690247962014-03-19T05:54:44.463-07:002014-03-19T05:54:44.463-07:00Youth can be such a hard time--so glad you are bot...Youth can be such a hard time--so glad you are both doing well!Meradeth Houstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06741790047121063893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5273270228005303883.post-83707674160858386042014-03-19T00:03:32.581-07:002014-03-19T00:03:32.581-07:00What a powerful story.
