After much consideration and research, and talking to my Dad (he has a Lawn-boy that he has been using for over 6 years now, still going strong) :) I decided to purchase this lawn mower. Our lawn is half weeds, horribly uneven and the first time we used this, really, really over-grown. This lawnmower is a champ, cut great, mulched great, bumped right along through  our crazy lawn. I am impressed. We have used it several times now and each time it has worked great.

I ran across Mike Chaleks website adoption fraud early on my own search for my original family, while my search has been in vain his success has given me hope.

It's like my life, only on paper. And my dad is a construction worker, but loves taxidermy and hunting. Very funny. My life doesn't seem quite so weird. Thank you. I needed that.

My father has had a decline I. His health.  He hated sitting in his wheelchair because his butt wold get sore.  He is getting out of the house more and that alone has significantly improved his quality of life.

I enjoyed his experience. I wish I took this advice in high school. My family is no help. But I feel I have gained a new family. I have entered and dropped out of college several times but I learned more of college rather than in.

My father was dying.

I couldn't stop the tears...I was crying at work, crying in the car, crying into my pillow. I was inconsolable...there was absolutely no available salve for the ache in my heart. Then, viola, I remembered that "...some 30 years ago, I read a book (couldn't remember the name) that told me to praise God for ALL things". Even though I was still at work, I decided to try it. I excused myself and told co-workers that I'd be in the ladies' room. While in the restroom, I raised my hands upward, "...thank you, God, that my father is dying....thank you, thank you".

I felt better and returned to my work area. I thought nothing more of it.

The next day, however, God showed up!

During my evening visit with my father, God gave us the most incredible time together, along with giving both of us a deep, sweeping, abiding peace that everything would be ALRIGHT! It was, indeed, for that time, Heaven on earth.

For the next few days, I kept racking my brain, "...what is the name of that book, anyway?" Finally, I remembered....and ordered a copy for my daughter who, herself, will one day need to experience the amazing faithfulness of God.

Thank you for the opportunity to write this review.

When I was a young child I thought everyone everyone saddled and rode a horse each morning for school. I didn't know that my friends didn't get their water from a frozen river for cooking and bathing. I thought everyone built their homes with logs, and spent their summers collecting firewood for the long winter. My vacations were weeks long on horse back deep in the Idaho wilderness.



I was taught to hunt and fish. Kill only what I need. Never waste and respect all life. I learned to shoot and throw a knife years before I saw a television. I learned to fix things. I learned to garden. I learned the value of a lentil bean pie and how to raise chickens. I had an amazing childhood and I was happy. This was the time when I first heard the word "Shadowshot"



When I became a succesfull adult in this gleaming world of light speed and adversity, I was prepared with rare skills that have allowed me to thrive. I am a father now and I have worked to perpetuate those old world skills as my father did for me. 

My father is the type of man who has lived his life on his terms. He has traveled the globe, he has known wealth and poverty. He has lived a life that is only a day dream for most. 



"Shadowshot," is an epic journey about a boy who was created in the mind of my father. Really I think the boy was living in the mind of my father all along and is a great story that had to be told. 

I am proud of you dad.

For years my wife and I had debated whether or not we should have a child. My wife just didn't have that strong emotional drive some women have to procreate. My desire to have a child would come and go. Finally, when my desire to have a child came again, we prayerfully decided to go for it. The pregnancy was filled with painful and expensive complications, which was followed by severe postpartum depression. I felt terrible guilt for asking my wife to do this. My daughter is a year old now. She's perfect. God couldn't have made a more beautiful child. But parenting is a lot tougher than I'd imagined and I was fighting the notion that I'd made a mistake. After the first frustrating, sleep deprived year, I felt that I was clearly not cut out to be a parent. However, Sacred Parenting changed my mind. It showed me there every single parenting experience, whether good or bad, was a gift from God that would shape my soul for eternity. He also pointed out all the simple pleasures that awaited me in the future. Thanks for showing me the light, Gary. You are wise beyond your years.

In tracing my family history we have found our way back to Wales and to Owain Glyn Dwr who would be a very great-great grandfather of mine. It is interesting to learn where and who you have come from through out the ages, and Owain is a very colorful person.

No parent is perfect but I thought I was going crazy. I couldn't win for losing with my mother. Add a religion like Jehovah Witness to this and it's a volatile mix. She told me that Jehovah's was going to destroy me if I didn't come back to serve him. I cried and tried to justify my mother's behavior I tried to buy her friendship to get her to like me. It took therapy to realize this woman do not love me.  Age 41 finally it came to down to doing NC regarding the relationship with my mother, read the book and you will know what NC means.  I needed this book 25 years ago.

My life is forever changed. I got information that I never knew before. I am now about my Father's business.

Spoke to me as a man, one who wants to explore the world and yet yearns for a connectedness with a family and all that comes with that decision.
