I'm really pleased that you have been freed from people taking
advantage of you and trying to get you to carry their load. The God
of my understanding loves me for myself - other people love me for
themselves.

My mother died of Cancer 3 years ago after fighting with it on and
off for 20 years. She was so brave, but she did have such fun as well
during this long length of time that she lived with this disease.
Sometimes I used to think that my mother was trying to live my life - I
have recovered from this erroneous view now thank God. When my mother
was ill, I found that it was me who was trying to live her death!!!!!
Now, I can see that whatever I thought was going on, my parents and my
mother's life, in particular the way in which she faced difficulty, grants
me a real hope in the Wholeness of the Human condition.
Love to you now and in the future.
Best wishes,
Andrew.
