Sometimes I think it helps... Either because I find all the words that are in my heart but I can't put into words myself, or because they make me cry so hard and I get that emotion out of me for awhile... Either way I think it's therapeutic. I saved so many of them too my phone that my storage is running low! But I can't delete them. Some of them I've printed and framed so I can easily read them every day. I'll post the last one I printed into a 5x7 and put it on my brothers memory shelf...
