Staying active keeps you healthy and happy. Each of them will attest that when it comes to skiing, sunny days are always the best.

People comment on it all the time. It took decades before she found it.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Laura writes: <em>The circumstances surrounding her youth were tragic. She grew up in a small town in Alberta. Both of her parents were heavily involved in a cult. Susan was subjected to ritualistic abuse \u2013 physical, sexual and emotional. That was a daily aspect of her life. When her father raped her and she became pregnant with his child at around 13, a backwoods abortion was the solution. She told me about how she watched her father murder her brother and how she longed to run away but couldn\u2019t out of fear that they would find her. She endured things no child should ever have to go through.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;The first 17 years of my life were absolute hell but from 18 to 55 it was worse. I was continuing to abuse myself with all these things I was putting in my hamster wheels. Flashbacks, anger, bitterness\u2026 It was eating away at me. I had to learn how to forgive. There\u2019s been so much healing since then and forgiveness of my parents.&#8221; ~ Susan Gammage<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Writing has helped Susan put things into perspective. It\u2019s been a driving force in her achieving clarity and acceptance and brings her a deep sense of accomplishment. She doesn\u2019t do it for the money. She\u2019s fulfilling the end of a bargain she made to herself. She\u2019s letting people know they\u2019re not alone. Because at one point, a long time ago, she thought that she was.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>In March Laura sat down with Ches and Betty Fulton as they were preparing to move to a new home in St. Catharines after 23 years in Huntsville. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/a-sad-farewell-the-fultons-love-huntsville-and-the-feeling-is-mutual\/\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">A sad farewell: the Fultons love Huntsville, and the felling is mutual<\/span>.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_11977\" style=\"width: 712px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11977\" class=\"size-large wp-image-11977\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2016\/03\/chesbetty2_doppler-e1482642630721.jpg\" alt=\"Ches and Betty Fulton\" width=\"702\" height=\"467\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-11977\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ches and Betty Fulton<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The Fultons are well known in the community for their selfless generosity.<\/p>\n<p>Laura writes: <em>Betty and Ches came to Huntsville 23 years ago and over the course of those years they\u2019ve done some pretty remarkable and selfless things.

If you need an example of true Christianity look no further than this couple who have spread joy and happiness just by seeing their always smiling faces. It&#8217;s been awhile since we\u2019ve seen each other but believe me they have not left my thoughts.
