Page iii Dedication To Lonny, Robert, Scott, Virginia, Jeff, Vicki, Jay, Susan, Rene, Tracy, Edith, Tony, Wendy, Jerry, Todd, Tim, Amy, Willie, and Paula. You are all very special people who deserve the best life has to offer. "Jesus loves me this I know" I learned that song a long time ago. I forgot it for awhile. And I forgot how to smile. The pain of living was so intense, Nothing in life made any sense. I wanted to live, I wanted to die, I hurt so bad, I couldn't cry. I felt so mad I wanted to spit, and scream and cry and hit and hit. The pain so deep, so quiet lay, I couldn't leave, I couldn't stay. Thanks to love, I learned what to do. And thanks to love, so can you. E.L. To the members of all our families. And especially to Roger, the recovering father of my son. P.L.E.

Page iv Acknowledgments Many thanks to Meryl Tullis, a wonderful woman who taught me how to turn fear into surrender and despair into gratitude. E.L. Thanks also to Carole, who brought us together so this book could be done. P.LE.
