This is extremely sad and I hope Ginnie will share the experience with other women who desperately need help. And as the torch of hope is passed on from one woman to another God will keep rewarding you with his blessings. You are a guiding light to those hearts that have been plunged in a difficult situation by poverty and destitution. If such a thing is happening in America what would you think of other countries like Somalia where eating once a day is a lyxury only affordable by those with an income. GBQ

I just have to echo what my good friend, Richard, says below, and add that I'm very glad you were there for Ginnie. I sometimes wonder about the other kids who were around me in school who sometimes led lives of quiet desperation while I was blessed with a wonderful family. I came to your site because of the review you gave me for my poem, Spatsie love, about the discovery of sex by a little boy. The value of you saying you found the poem whimsical and humorous is double now for me that I see what else you have confronted. It takes a very special person to face the seedy side of life, and then also see the innocence of it in a different situation. I have also loved your faith poetry and the display of Psalms at the beginning of your den. Blessings to you...Jerry

I was surfing in the AD when I ran across this article and read it, then looked to see who had written it. I felt certain this writer really understood life. And wouldn't you know: E. T. Waldron! "O, I know this writer." A quick check and I found my review of your poem "Waiting." And my review comments there I incorporate here. This article about Ginnie opens the door for us all to not be so quick in our judgments of others. And for many of us, we're ill-equipped to judge at all since we really don't know the circumstances of life of others. Once again, Eileen, you have brought to the forefront a powerful message. Yours is truly a den to linger in. So, now, I'll do just that. Thank you for all the wonderful work you post. Richard

I discovered this featured story today Eileen , when I logged in. I read more poetry when I can than short stories, but I am so glad I took the time to read this one. Having your name on it had a lot to do with my choice to read it. The story was beautifully written...frankly factual with the perfect amount of emotion and concern. Immediately it makes me count my blessings for my own childhood experience and good fortune, and weep for the ones who know no other way than your friend. How fortunate her llife to have you in it. xo Taylor

Thanks for sharing this with us. I started out in a one room shack with a 17 year old mother. But I had a father and a much better upbringing. It helps me to be more understanding--not of bad behavior--but of others' circumstances. I've traveled the world. People will do anything to survive. Rich and powerful perpetuate the abuse by allowing it and using it to their advantage. There, but for fortune, go you or I. Ron

She was blessed to have a friend like you, for you made a difference in her life. This is a wonderful story. It's great that you stuck by her and was her friend. You help her by showing her a better way to live and maybe even helped save her soul. You followed Christ's example. Best wishes.

You know Eileen, this kind of thing has always been so very common. In Britain it used to be rife until after the 1939-45 war when a socialist government created the welfare state. Unfortunately the people who have run our country for the last 25 years have turned back the clock and we are hearing such stories again. One of the architechts of the socialist system, Aneurin Bevan said "poverty of aspiration leads to poverty of spirit." You should use that - but only if you support Hillary Clinton for Prez next time because public healthcare is absolutely essential in a civilised country. Give my best to Ginny. Ian

Hi Eileen- VEry nice of you to stay by your friends side, come what may! :) She must have felt very comfortable, and she had to have EArned your respect and trust! Remember this saying and it may explain your shortlived friendship- A REAson, A SEason or a LiFeTime and I too am a Direct believer of God gives us only what we can handle- he will direct your paths. Everything does happen 4 a ReAson, we don't know what they are. He knows and when the time is right,we may know too.. YOur reason for all you endured could be to help Others *( as you have ) in a BiG Way... Open their Eyezzzz.... Thank you 4 this... as Sad :( as this life had to be. YOu were a good nurturer for her- she felt SAFE! Pat on the Back for your Patience with all around you and who was knocking her down.

I'm a very strong believer that everything happens for a reason and that He never gives us what we can not handle - such your meeting Ginnie and helping her through this horrific ordeal. God bless you Eileen, Sandie.

Powerfully told, achingly felt; an excellent story. Somehow, I have a feeling this is not based on fiction--the emotions are too strongly detected in your painful retelling. ((((HUGS)))) and love, Karla. :(

The sad thing is this really does happen. I feel the parent needs to be charged for such an offense, but also the person that has paid for it. The child given a new home. Great write.
