I am thankful for my parts in many ways, but in this way most--together we can nurture and love the little ones into a new way of feeling. I forget that I must do this, and it is so good to be reminded. One of my littles, Ash, told me that his life is so much better now. He has good memories, and before he had none. The pain doesn't have the same power it once did. And I forget to reach out to them, and they don't ask for help because that was never an option before. Such a simple thing, to listen and love them and tell them they matter.


Thanks for this comment.
