The way that Chapter 89 and Chapter 90 were done tonight and the explanation was done really hit home. while listening to Jill Reed and Tom Carey discuss the chapter, I found myself in tears over this chapter. I don’t remember it, but I was told about it when I sixteen years old by my biological aunt on my father’s side. I saw the newspaper article. Those two people who saved my life and the lives of five other children were living in the C of U. Their pure love of their fellowman is why I am here today. I never saw them again and they could possibley by deceased by now. It made me realize that I had already had pure love from two people who probably didn’t even know me and my brothers and sisters at all, just the situation.
When Tom Carey was discussing the love that Jeremiah had for Maria, I realized a few minutes later after realizing what those two wonderful and caring people did for me, I realized that my first love in college was just like Jeremiah. I was nineteen at the time and he didn’t want to hurt me because he didn’t know if he was going to die from leukemia. It broke my heart back then and I never forgot him. He did what he did out of love for me. I saw that tonight. Thank you Mark Hamilton and Jill Reed and Tom Carey for tonight’s call. I now realize that I had people in my life from the C of U in my life already. My goal now has become determined and I can now move forward with strength and conviction in everything that I do. Thank you for this wonderful opportunity.
