I am very moved by your words. There is nothing harder than standing up for oneself against the verbal, physical, emotional abuse of a parent. It is just against our nature. Talking about it is very difficult indeed. Every time a reader sends me a message of thanks, I feel validated. I can't thank you enough. Kaylie Kristen –

My relationship with death was always about fear as well until I lost a close friend suddenly on Nov 9, 2003. His birthday would have been Dec 9. It started me on a different path and now even after reading your memoir and relating to so much of it, I realize that many of us share similar tragedies in our lives that for some reason we keep quiet about. I too am estranged from my mother and because people have a different relationship with her they cannot begin to understand. My promise to my friend who passed was to live my life in an honest way and see the things in me that he saw and know that I am worth something. My mother's hostility towards me could never have been deserved by a child and yet she is still openly hostile. I made a choice that I am able to live with. You are doing Mr. Bill a tremendous honor by moving forward in your life and living it in an authentic way. Good luck to you!

Although I never knew him. Mr. Bill sounds like an accomplished black belt instructor who's excellent and patient teachings were embraced both inside and outside the do-jang, and now personified in you and his other students. I practiced martial arts a long time ago and cherish those lessons and honor my teachers that like Mr Bill have left an indelible impression of life and the journey taken. Best wishes to all those who knew Mr. Bill. Kaylie – thank you for the beautiful commentary on Mr. Bill. Although I never knew him.
