100 Things I've Always Wanted To Say But Never Did And Now Maybe Should Since The World Might Be Ending -->
Thing 78:
File this under "hey -- remember when you changed my life?" ... but I'd be hella remiss (assuming the world really is ending soon), to not call out those who helped me in my "great escape" of March 15, 1989. And let's face it, this will have to be a multi-parter (but at least I have 78 days to get this all out of my system) -- so tonight I'll just focus on one person of many from that experience ... Kerri G. For it was Kerri and family who provided me a temporary home while more permanent arrangements were made for a tiny little scared 17 year old boy who had just ran away with a few months remaining in his senior year. As time has passed, I stopped regularly celebrating the day as a personal holiday, but that doesn't mean I'm not eternally grateful for how everything came together so many years ago. The events of that fortnight literally changed my life -- so thanks again Kerri G!
