I
close my eyes and let my fingers fly across the keys until I feel clear
again, my thoughts quieting. Patterns begin revealing themselves within
the silent spaces between the words.
I keep digging, keep writing�hopeful to regain a sense of balance. My motivation
for this new obsession? To find my north star in the cloudy night sky. To become
healthy and happy once again. And above all else to manifest a cure for my daughter... Emma.

child-in-need. As the father of a diabetic, I
understand Julie's roller coaster of despair, frustration, and hope. The love we feel for our kids is unlike any
other emotion in the human spectrum, and capturing it in prose is an art. With
gratitude and congratulations to Julie... ... Alan Thicke
