23. Amazing what one relizes @ 3 am in a Port-o-potty...

hiding from a guy with a gun and a bunch of cops that look like they should be in a war zone.

My So was in the VA Hospital due to complications with his thyroid. The Sally was out of beds and no way to get to the other shelter here in town in time.

I was alone and scared. Never did I feel so helpless. It was due to this feeling I saw things in a new way.

May no one EVER have to get an epiphany in that way!
