    Liz lost both of her parents, she became homeless but stayed strong, overcome poverty and got into Harvard..And she has her own family now. Bless her.☺

    I love how Liz is honest about her parents' problems and at the same time honors the good things about her parents and the love they showed her. Her intelligence is shown in her ability to do this.

    "The basis of forgiveness is knowing that things aren't personal. We all have limitations. People can't give you what they don't have." WOW. This is life changing. Writing down this quote of hers in the comments in case it inspires anyone else similarly. Really makes me think about my relationship with my parents.

    This, and Oprah's interview with the author of A Child Called It completely shaped my childhood and my life when I saw them on her show as a child. I had a very abusive upbringing but seeing these stories saved me. I thought - if they can get through all of that, then so can I. As she says in this interview, "If I had a religion, it would be gratitude," and I can say the same - I am grateful these stories were shared to me to show me there is more in life, and that people like Oprah share this with so many others

      I met him once. At my high school. That was one of the best things that my high school did for me. He signed 3 of his books for me. ( and then 2 yrs later someone stole them from me. But that didn't change the impact in my life) It's was the same for me. Knowing what he went through I'm saying the same thing. If he can get through those absolutely horrible situations Iand survive I can make it too. He made me feel like I could be strong and helped save me.

    "Having each other" are the same words I tell my children everyday. We might not have a lot or go on extravagant trips.. But, when we can talk about our day and just laugh with each other means more than anything in the world. I can relate to Liz as I too was living on the street during my high school yrs. I pushed myself and kept moving forward.
