Sarah, I read your blog, from start to finish. You are an amazing writer. I grieved with you..I laughed with you..I admired your spunk and spirit. I felt I knew you and wished that I had. I grew up in Beaumont, TX though I now live in TN. Most of my relatives live near Lufkin, San Augustine, Hemphill, Nacogdoches...the best parts of Texas. Thank you for sharing your story. I just wish that you had a different one to tell. Blessings to you. Sherry {sunewun}
