So Loved ... This is an emotional play that is essentially about love ...and how devastatingly powerful its effects can be when it is absent in young lives. Stephen and Ruth have a childhood friendship which causes two families to merge. Ruth's family moves away to the wonderful state of Michigan. It is often difficult to understand why things change, but when they change for Ruth, she is sent to a mental health facility ---then becomes a runaway. Yet it is difficult to run away from every problem. Ruth runs away from what she views as the source of her problems. And for a while things appear to get better. At times, doesn't it seem like trouble finds us wherever we go? And how do we deal with not knowing for sure what is true and what is not? Maybe it's just Ruth's imagination playing upon her fears, but it also feels so very real ...and it seems someone is following her.

Two curious questions: Whether? How? We don't know whether something will happen, but we can choose how we will respond. When they were young, I recall having struggled with the idea of whether it's healthier to shelter my own children, or to discuss some of the many controversial issues. Though my children may not be going through a particular problem personally, perhaps they know someone who is. Are some subjects too sensitive to discuss? Our children may be hiding their feelings, and silently begging for discussion ...sometimes not. Sometimes it is difficult to put into words how one feels. We certainly need to give others our understanding ...and sometimes that requires discussion, while others may only be seeking silent support. In either case, it's called 'love'. And what everyone needs foremost ...is love.

No two people have the same experiences, nor do they see their shared experiences the same. Each person is unique ...having their own personal perspective on how things should be. I cannot tell you what you need to know ...I can only tell you of Him whom you should know. I hope you experience the good in life. The bad in life is difficult to even read about, but perhaps reading about it may help ...and even help you avoid certain struggles. Or perhaps it may help you empathize with those you know who are hurting, and it may even encourage you to reach out to them. I admit I don't always do this, but when I do ...it also brings hope to my life.
