Haley is such a brave girl and I know that you couldn't have been more supportive parents through this whole healing process. As I've said to you before having an 11, going on 12, year old, I cannot begin to imagine the anguish you've been through and I'm so so happy for you all. I often think about the turmoil you've been going through and I'm so pleased that you are now coming out of this the other side. What a brave girl your daughter is, she must be making you so very proud. How lovely that she let you share her story, I truly hope she goes from strength to strength and that her experiences can help others like her to make the progress she has.

That is wonderful how far she has come. Sharing her story with others is a wonderful step in the healing process. When her story can help someone else, she will see the power in that, and it will help her if she is ever tempted to go back. I never went back, but when life is tough, that sometimes is where my mind goes. But, helping someone else often stops it. I really am happy for you and hope she continues to do so well!Stacey G.-2 Craf-t-4uhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18100172245517660844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116527445730627337.post-17913870249821740082011-09-18T15:51:18.762-04:002011-09-18T15:51:18.762-04:00Colleen, what a wonderful story.
