Mark Smith

Mark Smith is a beautiful friend I had at WSH/WSU.

Things got complicated when I met a man I could marry. I had the parts to support a man in a career and I desperately wanted to. I wanted to have children and bring them up as I had been brought up or at least as I thought I had been brought up. I couldn’t really remember.

When I was in California I longed for Reading. A place where there was a real church. Somebody who could help me with the abortions. When we returned to the East Coast and I had my baby I turned to LKR for help wtih post Traumatic abortion counseling and she got me a very good NLT (“New Living Translation”) Bible following counselor who turned me on to a course of reading the whole Bible as prescribed by the New Believers Bible (NLT Version) which I did for the next 6 years (1997-2003). (I switched to a NIV (New Internation Version) Women’s Devotional Bible at some point). And I was seeing a Catholic psychotherapist. But I realized I needed to cut the cord with LK because she was a very disturbed person and I was also disturbed myself and we were harming each other. So, I need to remind myself of that. I picked up some very negative friendships at Wernersville. I also picked up some very positive friendships and Mark Smith was one of them.

He said “I have come to your Emotional Rescue” (From the Rolling Stones album.) And he really had and really did. WE got so close. He made fun of me sometimes. I could be a real asshole. I’m talking about myself. Mark, do you know that I got lost in the woods? Of course you do. Do you know that I am drawing pictures of aliens? What do you think? I remember your picture boards That was an awkward night. I was very ill. I almost got lost up in the mountains in the blizzard but somehow I got home. I am following the course of imitating Saint Mary Magdalen. I got baptized in a Catholic Church. It was hard how it went. My mother and brother are missing, supposedly they are both

I won’t bother you with this but if you are hearing this send me a note here if you want to.

The Lord marks me trusted now.

Probably because I learned from you.
