Tragic yet great reminder of how one act by each of us can change lives for the better . . . or worse. May each of us wake up and learn from Girl27. Her life was lost when it should have been joyous. I hope we can all learn to reveal ourselves to others and that when confronted with such revelations, we can succeed in the miracle of healing. Thanks David Stenn for allowing us into the life and conflict of Patricia Douglas. |
