My own faultthough, I was young and stupid. Courtney, I'm truly sorry for the way Itreated you and Tony. I don't expect you'll ever forgive me, but ... justwant you to know how I feel." Thank you for that Shannon-and I do forgive you, I did a long time ago,as Christ forgave us our trespasses. Yes, it was hard-but I do wish youthe best, and I hope you can get some breaks and turn your life around." That's true Shannon-we did. We'll both be gone for this year, but ifwe can help you-write.

I asked."Yes," answered my husband, "I don't think he'll be able to beat it."I knew that we couldn't afford a $22,000 debt, but I also knew that we already couldn't afford $11,000 so I whispered "yes." Sorry," whispered my husband as I followed him into the kitchen. When we got into the kitchen I could see John leaning back on a chair with a big shit eating grin across his face. I was glad to see that the other guys. When it all quieted down, I went over to Amanda and hugged her and kissed her cheek. She was crying but the tears were of joy. "Thank you, Chad! Even more, thank you for Brittany!"Tony's parents were there and were talking with Tony. They nodded as they finished talking to him. He turned to Amanda as I released her. He said, "Amanda, would you join my parents and me for lunch?" She started crying again. I smiled at Tony and nodded. I mouthed, "Hold her." He nodded back and embraced her and she.
