Keepers are right now on the telephone, it is 11:21 pm and they are talking with a little from someones system, a very scared little who needs someone to listen to her, someone to hear what she is saying, someone to tell her it will all get better. This is not unusual for keepers to be doing this. This what they often do, over the telephone or via email or IM'ing on the computer, listening to people who have no one to turn to, or feel like they have no one to turn to, whichever makes no difference, they need someone and they turned to Keepers and Keepers are doing all they can do to help this little one.
I could not do this, I do not have the correct perspective since I am not multiple nor am I an abuse survivor. I can only sit here on the sideline and do what I can do to help Keepers have the time to talk and listen to others. This is how keepers Korner functions, they handle the person to person stuff and I handle the routine emails and site issues, coordinate things with Andrzej and so on.
I know Keepers do what many T's cannot do, for the same reason i can't either. They are not multiples or abuse survivors, at least not the majority that I have heard of. Based on how most of them treat their patients they are clueless in many aspects. Maybe that is why many turn to Keepers. Some T's have turned to Keepers over these last several years, to ask questions of them, to ask how best to help their patient or understand their patient. What Keepers do is remarkable in my view. I do not think I could ever do what they do. They do have some sort of calling to do this, one they realized and swore to do. They have made a commitment to be there.
Does that mean they can handle it all alone or hour after hour, no. They need breaks and timeouts and time to let their hair down and just chill sometimes. Why? Because they don't tell anyone that their time is up, see you next week. I have seen them sit on the phone or computer all night to be with someone as long as they needed them.
What I am saying is that I truly respect what they do, how well they do it, and how much they give of themselves, unselfishly. I only wish they had someone like them to turn to when they were so needful many years ago. For those who have access to keepers now I know Keepers will be there for you, all they ask is that someday you be there for someone else.

Your so right about everything you said. I especially like that pay it forward part;) have you seen that movie? it makes me cry but it is a beatiful movie all the same.. heard somewhere it might be based on a real life situation not sure though. what keepers do is amazing!! and i make sure to tell them to take breaks and if they need someone to talk to they can always call but they don't cause they worry im already to stressed... but i tell them this is what friends are for isn't it? so that means if you need to you call to ok...i don't mind being an ear for a friend!! this is part of the good things about being friends.. helping each other a special thing of friendship. take care!!
thank you very much Wolf, that is indeed what a friend does, be there to help as best one can in whatever way one can. Thank you and you may someday get that call, and i will tell you i do enjoy talking with you when we have been on the phone together. I know you are very special to keepers and me and we treasure our friendship.

this is beautiful JM. we are all blessed to have you and that you allow KK to do what needs to be done with us lost souls out in the world. we have turned to KK for support and there is nothing else like it. Keepers knows exactly what we need to hear and how to hear it. they are wonderful and we feel fortunate to have found KK and you and the wonderful ministry. and hope to have a long relationship.
thank you littleflute, keepers and me only want to help give others what keepers never had, support and someone to turn to. if we can do that for those seeking the same, we are being successful and we thank you for your kind words.
Happy trails
