I read your answer about the hand accident and how you got you driver\u02bcs license. I barely got my license just being me. What a way to go? I bet Holdon took the whole class. How do you think you passed the test? Do you recall any part of the drivers ed class? I think its great how you just did it, took the test and all. Did you buy a dress that day for the wedding you were going to? Was it Holdon who picked out your dress or did he just drive you to the mall? If I knew you I would kiss the ground you walk on. Sweet Jesus you are awesome! Don\u02bct get insulted but you really had me and my husband laughing.<\/p>\n<p>Lorrie and Dan<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Dear Lorrie &amp; Dan,<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for your interest in the daily life stories of my alters. \u00a0There are hundreds of such stories, because with seventeen alters there was always something going on!<\/p>\n<p>Regarding who took the driver education classes, that would be Karen 3 with Holdon and a few of the alters &#8220;watching&#8221;. \u00a0The knowledge about driving I acquired would come through one alter, and once known, would become known to most of the other alters as well, as long as the information didn&#8217;t need to be walled off. \u00a0It&#8217;s kind of hard to know how involved any one part was because after integration, I received all these memories and now I experience them as my own.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, I did buy a dress that day, and loved it! \u00a0It was dark red and very feminine, and special to me. \u00a0Holdon, being a male alter, had no interest in shopping, however the choice was not mine alone. \u00a0I had alter help. \u00a0Remembering that day brings a smile to my face. As a matter of fact, I have a picture of my husband and me when I was wearing that dress.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m glad about the laughter you shared with your husband. \u00a0I laugh at many of the things my alters have done, too! As I look back and recall these stories I find a sense of calm and appreciation for each and every alter that was born. Laughter really is the best medicine.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for all your compliments.<\/p>\n<p>Karen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comment by Lorrie and Dan on February 7, 2009 2:06 pm My God Karen?
