Hi Alexis,

I’m so sorry to hear of the difficult time you and your family are going through. At the same time, I am impressed with how you have chosen to face this trial. Your choice to be positive about the future is setting an example that will help your children throughout their lives. I have added the book Santosh the Little Elephant to this round-up. Our prayers and thoughts are with you! Warmly, Tracy, Deb, and Sherri

I very recently separated from my husband of 10 years. This separation ended badly due to my husband’s extra-marital activities. I found myself in a situation where I had to pick up my twins (Jacqueline and Rex) and move closer to my mother’s, about 8 hours away from the only home my children had ever known. (They’re both 8.) We have been settled now for almost a week and I must say they’re doing better. My friend Barbara recommended a children’s book about a little elephant named Santosh and his pug. Can you believe that? An elephant with a pug as a pet. It still tickles me just thinking about it. Anyway, I have to give this book a lot of credit because it deals with what I read on this site so frequently. Courage. He has to move and the book deals with him dealing with this difficult transition. And the overall theme is bravery and courage. I wanted to share it with you because it’s really helping the twins to deal with what we’re going through at the moment. Change, moving, being positive about the future. It’s all in that little book. I hope you will share it with your readers because it has helped me to simply let go and move forward for the sake of my two children. Thank you, Alex
