Yes, I do know where to find you, and it won't be long before I'm bending your ear again, so be careful what you ask for....lol.<br /><br />May I just say that your last sentence left me looking forward to the time when we can one day meet in person.

I know how difficult this is to be stuck in suspended animation, all the while watching the clock tick. Precious time taken away from her where she could be getting the help she requires.<br />You know where to find me. Until that time when I tell you in person, know that you haven't left my thoughts<br />williewilliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01907855123777628267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3878891820269114501.post-78700507690193934582014-02-12T09:43:50.731-05:002014-02-12T09:43:50.731-05:00Thank you, Queenie.

'Travesty' sums it up.<br /><br />Speaking of change, I traveled to my state capital yesterday for Legislative Awareness Day. I wasn't able to meet with our local Senator, as I had hoped, but I will make an appointment to do so in his local office. The Chairman of Mental Health spoke yesterday and is very passionate about bringing forth much-needed change. I'll be cc'ing him on the letter I'll be sending to the senator in anticipation and preparation of my visit with the senator. Maybe my story will resonate with them......I can hope and pray!Sadiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13515398597364090414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3878891820269114501.post-1287376681538782662014-02-12T09:28:21.582-05:002014-02-12T09:28:21.582-05:00Thank you, Leah.

We still try and blame the mentally ill for their disease. If someone has diabetes we wouldn't tell them to go home without treatment. If their sugars are out of whack we hospitalize them until they are over the dangerous period. Why we believe this will resolve on it's own is just a travesty. On top of the fact that many of our mentally ill are homeless and or in prison we continue to make the same mistakes. It is a testament to people like you that fight the injustice and try and help those we love have a fulfilling life. Hopefully change will happen!Minielle Labraunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16206283897752166320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3878891820269114501.post-43351605752103434302014-02-09T20:49:05.149-05:002014-02-09T20:49:05.149-05:00Sadie, I am so sorry!
