Dr. Laura:
After several years of not hearing you, the wonderful SiriusXM radio that came in my new car has brought you back to me! After listening again for a few weeks, I am in awe of the influence you had on me and I didn't even know it!
I always loved your style, appreciated your candor, and took many things to heart. I was going through a divorce, raising two kids alone and was caring for ailing and dying parents, I was drowning. No one knew the struggles that surfaced when I was alone at night, but I grew up as an athlete and learned young that you pushed through. In fact, I'm alive because of it. As a college student, I was slammed into a tree by another skier when I was on the slopes. I died there, was resuscitated and airlifted to a hospital where after awakening from a coma, I spent several months recovering. At that time, I had no idea if I would walk again, and what other life challenges I would face. Fast forward: I walk, had children, and I dance! Because I can.
The nuggets of wisdom I gleaned from you crept into my parenting, my relationship with a demanding mother, and my career. You supported me when I didn't even know it. I wanted you to know there are many times when you say something and I have an epiphany. When I felt alone and doubtful, you gave me strength to be what I needed to be. I am eternally grateful.
