Abstract

Learning from Living Promises to Keep Lou Kratoville Betty M Y TELEPHONE RANG one afternoon. The soft, spring caller was a foster mother who had taken a just three-year-old cerebral into her home and palsied youngster who, quite simply and needed someone to talk to. She had heard quite desperately, of the miracles which had occurred in the life of my brain-injured son and was out not so much for and counsel as advice reaching for and that conversation-or one of the hope optimism. During that followed-she made a comment that has with many stayed me. She &dquo;It is to have someone to call when I am at said, good the end of Now know Alcoholics why my rope. Anonymous have had such success. make sure there is They always somebody to listen.&dquo; I have reached back into own and can now my experiences more the fact that darkest with own fully appreciate my days my child were the when there was no to listen&dquo; and days &dquo;somebody that his habilitation and the that followed joy closely paralleled a chain of events that us into contact with other brought parents and other children with similar These first contacts problems.
