So sorry. Losses of lovely and wonderful people are very hard on the heart and the soul. May the Lord of All be with them, and you.

when I was eight i saw my mum help our dog birth her puppies.I thought it was the most amazing thing ! i wanted to help women have babies but that idea was shelved but never left me. i would bring medical books home from canada, as midwives and doulas were basically not allowed in the states. The lord started to open up doors in his wonderful, bet you didn't see this one coming did you, method ! I ended up teaching for the 3 hospitals here and was given privelege to be a doula at all of the Pgh hospitalas. I even teach at The Univ.of Pittsburgh .No way should be in those positions.I never went to college ,but God kept going,and gave me ways to learn and receive an international degree ...at age 40 while being a single mum myself What a great God we serve. lynn m.

Oh Gee! So sad. I remember you did the song at the Lyric in Baltimore in what seems many years ago.

Wow! I was wondering about the origin of that song. Ironically, my husband and I had several exchange students in the 70’s from Niigata, hosting them in our Goffstown NH home. Our first two came in 1976. The Japanese people have such a gentle manner about them. How tragic that your efforts have not gotten Megumi returned. Your epilogue was heartbreaking 💔

I know the bond we formed with our Japanese children, which still endures today. You and Betty must have been devastated. Thank you for sharing!❤️
