Dear Dr. Laura,

I have been a listener for 3 years and you have made more of an impact on my life than anyone in my entire 28 years. I wanted to thank you and let you know how you have helped me. I called you back in October about a friend who was shacking up and found herself pregnant. I called you because people kept telling me I was wrong for not congratulating her etc... Long story short, you told me I was doing the right thing and thanked me for "following through". You also called me your "heroine" and I will never forget that day! I look up to you so much and don't have many people in my life I can say that about.

Since that call to you, I was invited to the baby shower and declined to go. Needless to say, I have been getting heat for this decision. Tonight I had a rough night. My sister told me I was an awful person for not going to the shower and made me feel very badly. However, I stayed true to my convictions and told her I will not compromise my morals, values and ethics like the rest of society does these days. I cried in the shower and thought about how wrong it is that I'm being made to feel horrible for doing the right thing. I thought about you and how I needed to stay strong. It's sad that doing the right things these days is the minority.

I will not compromise my principles! I thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you do. I truly don't know how I would get through this crazy world without you. I hope one day to meet more people like you. Until then I will be listening everyday...

Love,

Jen
