No matter what I do or don’t do, say or don’t say, I can’t seem to help Nathan. He is failing in school. He seems to have no worries about how he is going to manage in the future. He is angry at me because I still care enough to try. I never in a million years knew that raising a child could be so hard. I have never felt so lost. I find myself just throwing up my hands. Saying I don’t know what to do is an understatement.

Sometimes, when you walk down a long street on a sidewalk full of cracks, you have to concentrate, head down, on each step so as not to fall. The journey can be very tiresome. Each step takes so much effort that you may forget to look up and you lose sight of your ultimate destination off in a distance. But the destination is still there. Whether or not it’s in your face for each of those steps, you don’t stop walking. One thing you can do is to look back and see how far you’ve come and, with that in mind, maybe the rest of the trip doesn’t look so bad.
Just keep walking.

Dear Leonardo,
I have been thinking about you a lot lately. The beauty of your words and the wisdom behind them often leaves me speechless and sometimes with tears in my eyes. I am so lucky to have met you and to have had the ability to gather strength from your advice. I could never possibly pay you back for that gift, but I did want to thank you and to let you know how much it means to me, how much it has always meant to me. I shall keep walking.
With Love, Tammy
