Dear Kirby,

Words cannot express my gratitude to you for accepting Todd on scholarship to your treatment program. I know your trust was in Roberto…and Todd needed to show that he could commit to the treatment program. I believe he not only committed but has flourished in your treatment program. He is embracing the AA program…lives it, thinks it, breathes it!

Now the difficult time is approaching. Stepping into the real world! I believe your generosity in accepting him into the "Transitional” treatment program, also on "scholarship” could prove to be the difference in continuing this journey of sobriety.

This has truly been the best gift we've ever been given. The ultimate "pay-it-forward”.

As I have said to you…the dedication and devotion of Roberto (who seems also to be innately intuitive) has been a blessed event in our lives. God must have put him in both of our paths.

Thank you also for "Norm”, a wonderful, insightful intelligent human being.

 Most of all, thank you for taking this chance…the ultimate gift…a chance for one to learn to embrace a healthy life. Gratefully yours,

Trudi M
