PAR NTS AND 0TH R H LPER5 There are so many parents, relatives and friends who help make Woodruff Christian School a success. A very special "Thank You" to all those who give so freely of their time and love to make our school a special place. We appreci- ate all the trips you take with us, the teaching you provide, the cupcakes you bake, the parties you plan, the prayers you pray, plus so much more. May God bless all of you!! L .

Who cares what I think? cause I love all my children, even if I have a little drink. T I They all call me a drunk, but I know each of their names! And those kids that are confused, well, they say I'm to blame. I always told those kids I love them. But they said they never heard. I only hit them once or twice. Not hard, I give you my word! Maybe I got a little mean sometimes, but only after three or four beers. I was only trying to make 'em mind, but they would all end up in tears. And now that they are older, I think and I take long walks, I wonder if they might send a letter that I could find in my old mailbox. But never a word from those three kids. Guess they never think about me! Please, dear God, l've never asked before. I pray you'll hear my plea! I pray everyday now, Lord, and I haven't touched a drink. I feel such sadness and grief. I'm shaking so bad, I can't even think. Maybe death is the answer, hey Lord? This just isn't workin' out. I haven't heard from nobody. I'm getting myself out of this mess! Please help me, my God. Can't you show me a sign? With all this pain and sorrow, is everything going to be fine? For forty long days and nights, I've been sober and I pray. l'm feeling a little bit better, I think l'II call them. Well, Lord, what do you say? 662-0223 .. . John Hamilton, Jr. I waited for a long while "Dad," the voice said. "Yes!" I said, with a smile. "It's been a long time, Dad. We've all wonderedg no one knew. l'm glad you're alright, 'cause you know, I love you!" My eyes were cloudy with tears, now our start was fresh and new. Thank you, dear Lord, Thank you for everythingg for coming through! By Jeri Wakefield
