Coach, I've not read Frankl's "Meaning of Life" - but it sounds like he makes a powerful statement about what it means to get through the worst kind of nightmares. Yet another book to add to my list - which is always a good thing.
These last few months, no, this last year, has changed my life in virtually every regard - not just the practical matters I have to take care of, but also the more emotional issues one has to tackle on a daily basis. I am a different father now than I was before, far more aware of the ways in which I must model for my children what it means to be a good man. I've also found that people seem to stop and talk with me a lot in RL - much more than ever used to happen before...I have found a kind of quiet confidence in knowing that I am dealing with my own issues now - looking into my own life and working on some very profound issues that I had avoided for far too long.
I love the idea of starting a "wishing tree" in the park across from your house. I know that children, like you 11-year-old, especially love it.
