TO HAVE AND TO HOLD
I want to say to Courteney and David and to all of us who have lost babies, keep trying. What a blessing to have family, friends and a wonderful companion to get through life's challenges. You are not alone. Let's not forget the things we have, and let's keep hoping for the things we want.

I applaud Courteney and David for their honesty and courage in their pursuit of parenthood. I have had multiple miscarriages and know it can put a strain on a relationship. But it has also helped strengthen the commitment my husband and I have to each other, as well as our resolve to have children. Miscarriages are not always talked about, and it is courageous of them to bring it out in the open. Courteney and David have a successful marriage, and now I know they will be wonderful parents.

Every week when we receive PEOPLE, my husband and I guess who will be on the cover. Since it had been a couple of weeks, we figured it was time for someone from Friends—again. Bingo! Courteney and David's marriage. Who cares?

HERO'S WELCOME
I felt tears well up in my eyes after finishing your story about the Iraqi lawyer, Mohammed Odeh al-Rehaief, who helped in the rescue of Jessica Lynch. What an uplifting tale of bravery and resolve! I am glad his family is now safe from harm, and I wish them all the best in their new surroundings.

Thank God someone finally recognized a real hero. While I'm happy that Pfc. Jessica Lynch and the other soldiers were found alive and are now doing well, I don't understand why they are hailed as heroes. They made a wrong turn and got caught in a horrible situation. The real heroes are Mohammed Odeh al-Rehaief and the U.S. soldiers who risked their lives to save them.

Why is it that Mohammed Odeh al-Rehaief, who risked his life during the rescue effort of American POW Jessica Lynch, is still dreaming of one day meeting the brave young woman whose life he saved? If I were Jessica this too would have been one of my dreams-and by now I would have met my hero.

DON'T LOOK BACK
As I was reading your article about Jack and Jackie Kennedy, one question came to mind: Why? Yes, the way President Kennedy died was a tragedy not only for his family but also for his country. However, let's be honest—had he been fortunate enough to leave the White House at the end of his term in office, would we care what Jackie wore or that Jack's bad back prevented him from picking up his children? I think it's time that people let go of Camelot and move on.

CHAMPIONSHIP COURSE
To be able to turn a string of tragedies that includes the deaths of two children and the struggle to raise a disabled child into a triumph takes an incredible effort and shows the determination of Steve Espinoza's spirit. I was disgusted when I read about the golfers who berated his handicapped son John for being too slow. But that turned to a feeling of satisfaction after learning that Mr. Espinoza fought this selfish behavior by building John's Golf Course. The fact that anyone can play on it makes Mr. Espinoza the true champion.

SAY NO MORE
I find it hard to believe that the general public gives two hoots about Barbra Streisand's political views. In California a recall is part of the political process that can be exercised and it was. If Barbra Streisand doesn't like the outcome, she is welcome to live in another state. Celebrities need to keep their political views to themselves.
