Tonight Laura came home from walking with Meagan Becker, Lindsay MacMurray, and Cindy Brown upset and crying. She stayed on the porch for a while to try to come herself but when she came in she was anything but composed. As she talked about what she was feeling and how the walk had gone it was clear that much of her pain was a result, either directly or indirectly, of her keeping herself “protected” from her friends so that they couldn’t understand the challenges that we have here at home. She realized that just tonight she had brushed off/ignored both Meagan Becker and Tamra Adamson. She also realized that by doing so she was hampering their efforts to reach out to her and super her. I think this is an important lesson too understand before we received the resources needed to live a more normal (for our culture) life activity-wise.
