We're not stefford folks who have to be like minded. We aren't robots without a soul, a heart, a conscious.... We are human and heck people shouldn't always agree. I learn a great deal from people I may not always agree with heck sometimes I learn I'm wrong-- lol-- so I don't dismiss anything or anyone just because I don't agree with them. Because you and I don't always agree, I truly appreciate you not dismissing me. In fact it means a great deal to me. Anyone can embrace someone who they always agree with but it takes a big person to embrace someone they don't agree with. For me, life is a learning process and I know I am not always right. I love your passion and commitment as well. Whether we agree or not on every issue is not important to me what is important is that we can and do respect each other. Our similarities outweigh our differences-- we both have passion and we are both commited to our community. Thank you!

We may not always be in agreement, but I love your passion, and your commitment to the community.

It should have stated, "The father who called me who visited his son in the morgue...." Rhonda Erwin 2009-11-19T09:14:05Z
