I'm glad your feet got better. But what about your relationship with your mom? Did that heal as well? I just stumbled upon your blog today and I'm very impressed! I'm glad your feet got better.

I sometimes wonder that though I know God doesn't give these things to us, it does make us more sensitive. Painfully sensitive. And that is why you are a good writer. So all this (building you up) hasn't gone to your head; it has gone to your hands for writing! Praise God you have got over that awful condition!

I dont think its possible to scratch the pigment off your skin. the discoloration sounds like the skin disease micheal jackson had, and my uncle has. I dont remember it though. I love when doctors have no idea whats wrong with you. Makes you feel... special. I've spent years around doctors- thankfully I had some pretty smart ones. And now I get spots on my feet. Which always comes with the muscles locking up and I do this weird zombie duck shuffle thing. But its the spots.... they are so weird. I currently have 2 on my knees that hurt.... that was bad last night. Anyway, its always great to be normal, and its so exciting, and exhilerating. Of course, if you're lucky, that normal thing doesnt last and then thats harder... Congrats on the feet... and shoes. Shoes are cool. did you ever find out what was wrong?

I am thinking of those 470 children in the news today who have been taken from their mothers. God only knows where and in what strange conditions they have landed. As wrong, or as right it is, it is heart-breaking to think about. Anyways, John...you turned out great!

Nothing I can think of seem adequate to tell you other than I wish that painful memory didn't suck so bad. Instructive reading, though, and a reminder to me to give my children that affection you wished for. I like your story for the happy ending, though. From pain apparently came much pleasure. By the way, what's your favorite athletic shoe? or will revealing that endanger any pending endorsements? Mine used to be New Balance in the 1980s - but it's like the quality ran downhill over the years to the point now I'd call their product unfit even for limping. -Sam John,

Thank you for sharing this though. It is a great reminder to be even more gentle with the children. I'm sorry you endured that, John, and I'm glad it had a happy ending. Wow, that hurt my heart.
