(((Splendra) What a blessing for this child to meet and talk to someone like you, with a heart filled with compassion and light. My thoughts are that she will remember this conversation for many years to come. You brought hope and forgiveness, something she may not have seen in a very long time.
My prayers go out for this child, and for all children whose lives are touched by addiction. God bless the child!
And God blesses you too, Splendra, by putting you in the path of those who need to reach out to you.
Hugs
