Osiyo Nina. I hope you don't mind my writing this. I saw your comment on maddad's JC thread. My dear friend, I was not aware of your struggle that you mentioned. I would like you to know that you have a friend in me and I will always treat you with dignity and respect. If you ever need to talk on here let me know. I'm estranged from my father for reasons that I have mentioned before. So I understand about that. My mother is with the Great Spirit. My father is Equa Adanvdo and my mother is Unitsi Elohi. :) I hope you have a great day Nina !! :) If this is out of line my friend, just delete it. Just wanted you to know that I was thinking about you and wishing you well.

Dohiyi Nina,
