Valdes family’s final thoughts. “We think life is automatic. We

Survival help: The Jumpline has listed many methods for getting help. If life has you down, please
have the guts to seek help. A surviving and thriving
life has been found by many members. Let’s look

lose this spectacular career, or survives before they
get divorced, or before they irreversibly ruin relations with kids, family, and friends. My hope with
this series is that it saves a person from that fate.
