My heart aches for mothers who have lost children. My son passed away 2 months after "Crash"... There were several moments in his short life that we almost lost him and then received him back for a little while longer - those are precious memories for me. It is encouraging and heartbreaking to know that I am not alone. May God bless you and hold you. ~Tanya Mary Ann,

I’ve always believed crows to be powerful. I really enjoyed this story and the freedom the crows gave Mina. Good job. Crash – Wow! You captured the very precious moments many of us have experienced but with a much different ending. Your story deeply touched me, so much so I cried as the mother huddled in the corner. God Bless you for being able to write the story some of us have been unsuccessful at writing. Your story ripped my vote straight from my heart. Bravo! Addicted – parenthood is not easy. We never stop trying. There are a multitude of factors as to why a child turns out the way they do. “Hope, believe and pray.” Good job.

We as parents wanted to give our children the very best. Even God's children aren't exempt from these battles. We are all flesh and blood and fight spiritual battles every day of our lives. If we, being human want good things for our children, and we do, then how much more does our God want for HIS children, US? As we turn around and learn that positive lesson for ourselves, perhaps our babies, grown and not, will begin to follow their Savior personally and the next generation will reap the benefits. This story is dynamic in this day and time because it displays the truth without regard to pride. If we would all be as real as Angi was and called out to God more, the world would be a better place. In our pride we do not like to acknowledge that our lives are a mess and we need Him....Thank God for His love for us, even when we don't know how to love back.....Adicted To Love ....A real and moving truth.
