The day before Christmas I am lucky and thankful to have a family that supports me and we have our health physically and emotionally. For how many people are these some of the hardest days due to the fact that they don’t have the things I take for granted?

Another day in Paradise enjoying the company of my parents. How many troops are back and their family’s can’t enjoy them because they don’t even recognize them any more, who is this person that looks like my child, my husband, my wife, my parent?

Watched a special with my mother that Barbara Walters did on Where is Heaven and How do we get there? I think the troops coming home wonder how did things change so much, what happened; how long is their walk to get home, is this Hell, will they ever get to Heaven, will they ever stop having nightmares, will they ever be like before they left?

I went to a talk about supplement at the communities club house. The woman giving the talk had had phenomenal results with the product, truly believed in it and could not tell enough people how great it was. She reinforced for me my trip to the Butterfly Sanctuary that every time and every place is the right time and right place for what we are doing. I talked briefly here and asked for them to write letters, the ladies holding the meeting said they would (it was the right time and place).

I have been using a mineral supplement that is the best I have tried (I had a gym for 28 years and would test everything out on myself and if I didn’t notice a difference in 2 weeks I would stop using it and try something else) and they make another product that helps with inflammation (Forte made from the acui berry) and restoring joints. I have been reluctant to say anything, thinking I would be soliciting but why should that be a problem since it works for me and is helping heal my back from the damage I had done while walking and the money made from it can be used to pay for expenses to travel and promote our cause? So if anyone is interested in the product just call 1800 838 8388 and use my ID# 300695601 when you get info or call me at (305)852-4782.

Gave a talk for the Knights of Columbus at St Justins in Key Largo, it was more emotional then usual for me because my parents were there. I was very humbled by the men that put this talk together for me, an 80 year old man(my father) in a wheel chair, he is a science project with a pace maker and all sorts of medication to ward off the pain so he nods of a lot, the other man is in his 70’s and has one arm. They spread flyers all over town, in stores, post offices, made calls went to other organizations, got the press and radio and they wrote letters to their Congressmen. What have I done who have youth and health on my side, at what age would I say I am not doing anything? I have likened myself to someone who has soiled their bed and expect my children to change the sheets, that is no longer acceptable to me, it is my responsibility to clean up the mess I made, not my children.

One of the reporters who was unable to be at the talk came for a personal interview (Cammy with the Miami Herald) and after this article goes in she said she would see what she could do to do follow ups so that we get as much press as possible.

This is my last day with my folks on this trip, how lucky I am to have both parents still alive. How many of the troops coming home are like the walking dead, how many of them after time their own parents don’t want them around because they are not the same, they can’t reach them, they are helpless to ease their suffering so much so that the sight of them brings pain and guilt?
