    Thank you so much for the broadcast yesterday and today. It spoke to me personally as my beloved husband of 37 years died this year at the age of 59 just like Dee’s. Her testimony was so uplifting to me as I am suffering from the grief only a widow/er can understand. God is everpresent and today He spoke to my heart through your broadcast. Focus on the Family has been one of many lifelines for me during this grieving process. I am saddened that Dr. Dobson will leave Focus. I cannot imagine the ministry without him. I pray for him and the entire Focus team. I hope he will reconsider , but wherever he goes my prayers will go with him and I know he is a man of God and the Lord will bless him and keep His hand upon him! The ministry wouldn’t be what it is today without him and Shirley.
    The music and the hymn Be Still my Soul also ministered to me. I ordered the book and CD and I thank you again for all you do for families everywhere! Keep us the good fight…. in a culture that is so dark. You are a light to us and a light to the world.
    In Christ, RuthAnn
