Thank you for reaching out to this despairing man with your letter and poem. It was good of you to share your personal experience in a non-judgmental way and encourage him to keep talking with you and be an "overcomer". -Joan

What a beautiful letter. So warm, heartfelt, reassuring. I do hope Justine turns to you for help. Your poem is so inspirational it brought tears to my eyes. I'm going to add this to my bookcase. I hope you don't mind.

This haibun is a good mix of prose and poetry. It shows the extent of your heart and the love and help of God. It shows how faith can give you strength to change your life.
Keep writing and stay healthy.

A very well-written uplifting and encouraging story and poem for anyone who need some love and certainty that there is still good no matter how bad our situation looks God can turn everything around in our favor

This is a great testimony to you and your friend, Patricia. I'm glad you were/are there for him. Hopefully, he will be able to change his life in a way that will make God proud. You are right about God being enough. Your poem at the end is perfect.
Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan

This is a great letter to a man struggling with an addiction. He will need many prayers, but help is available and Christ will be there to help.

This is such a beautiful, uplifting, and touching piece--both the prose and the poem. The part that stands out the most is your telling him you will listen without judging.

Yes indeed, God is indeed enough. I was a drunk, I smoked and I gambled, and God delivered all three addictions, so I certainly believe that God can do it, I had two very young children at the tim, and they have never been near those things, well done, blessings, Roy
