I am so sorry to hear of all that you have had to go through. I guess if we all stepped back and looked at our lives, we have all had something, some more than others for sure but life does have a way of throwing us some bad curves. Yet, I will have to say that Mac Anderson Weatherford got married and had a good marriage and a big family of good kids who loved him and his wife and my great grandmother, Ella married someone who adored her and she also had a very large family and her kids loved and adored her and their daddy and so both Mac and Ella turned out to have a good life no matter how bad it got started with them with a bad home situation. Life is something like a roller coaster sometimes with many ups and downs and it happens pretty regularly. I guess what is important is what we learn from the bad things and to not allow them to make us bitter but to make us better and more compassionate people toward others. Thank you for your help. Jane
