Alice,

Your kind words mean so much to me. Thank you so much for your wisdom. I am so sorry you had a similar experience, and you're right. There is nothing we can do except be loving and caring people, even in the face of such cruelty.

I am more at peace than ever after breaking my silence and telling my story a few days ago. A weight has been lifted, ever so slightly. I see daylight again, and it's mostly because of women like you taking the time to open your hearts to me. I am so grateful for the opportunity to speak with you..... you truly are a wise woman. I will remember what you've said whenever I feel angry and upset. Your words are a great comfort to me.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.... you are wonderful. From one mother to another.
