As always, I love reading your stories. This one tugged at my heartstrings a little more. In reality we all have faced hardships in life and the hasty judgmental views of others that have often heightened our own desires to become more introverted the older we get. Thank you for sharing your stories. You have a natural God given talent.

You spoke my heart. When I moved to Laurel Fork I was going through two separate situations in which our family had been targeted. I withdrew from the public and nursed my wounds, felt sorry for myself, got over myself eventually and realized I needed to be a part of community again. It's difficult, especially as we age and understand more about human nature. Protecting ourselves is a natural instinct. Love you, friend.
