Dear Karen,<\/span><\/p>\n
I like that you answer everyone dear (the persons name) it\u2019s like you accept people from the get-go. I bought Switching Time after reading your blog first. It took me dayssssss, so much you have written. A book before the book. I didn\u2019t mind because you in yourself gave me something to look forward to each day. As a senior citizen sitting in a nursing home in Georgia waiting for rehab after knee surgery it\u2019s been a pleasure to know you. WE never met. But I am happy you visit me in thought each day. A gift, that\u2019s what you are.<\/span><\/p>\n
As I placed my cup of tea on the table next to my recliner, a usual morning routine that starts my every day, I got comfortable and opened the book. I felt I already knew you personally so the book should be an easy quick read. No, it wasn\u2019t. I sobbed for you, was happy for you, hated your therapist at first then loved him. I had to get up and get another box of tissue because so many emotions came up and went down. I swear at some points I couldn\u2019t breath. At the end I sat still and felt so wonderful I knew God was present.<\/span><\/p>\n
Did you know that you are truly one of God\u2019s miracles? Yes, you are. I\u2019m sorry that you suffered so. I will pray for you each day until I die. I will pray that no one, I mean no one hurts you in any way ever again. When I go to my final resting place in heaven with our father and become an angel, I will protect your heart until we meet some day in heaven. We may not have met but I love you.<\/span><\/p>\n
God Bless You my child. Don\u2019t lose your faith.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dear Anastascia,<\/span><\/p>\n
Thank you for sharing such a wonderful story! \u00a0You have touched me more than words can say. \u00a0Actually, you brought tears to my eyes on a day I really needed to hear something special. I had been feeling a bit down and wondered whether sharing my story was doing more harm than good. \u00a0It must’ve been your timing. \u00a0Your words were just what I needed to hear. \u00a0Thank you. \u00a0I’m sure\u00a0you were\u00a0God sent and meant to be the one to write me today. \u00a0I will always try my best not to lose my faith. \u00a0Thank you for your gentle reminder, and for\u00a0protecting my heart. <\/span><\/p>\n
God Bless you.<\/span><\/p>\n
