Hallow. I'am new to CBLF and have just read the first page of posts and now feel really attached to you all. At the bottom of the page I particularly sympathise with Chris's blog on 2007/07/20: (http://www.cblf.org/messages/51378.htm) (Does the http work?) who at the moment is missing his friends. And the wonderful reply from "please send me deliverance".
I would like to add my experience: that after enjoying the company of many small boys for 20 yrs I then endured the next 30 yrs without any until Christmas 2004 when the son of my last yf suddenly sent his 11yr old (problem) stepson to stay with me. We bonded immediately. He is now 14 and is as good as gold. Have you ever seen a 14 yr old help his mentor with the grocery shopping each week?
