I think we have to, don't we...a way of reasoning what happened to us, a chance to make some good come out of the horrible, the pain. I think, at least for me, I spent so many years envisioning what it was like to be loved, wanted - I gave it beauty/substance in my own life. As for why now when it won't change a thing...because inside in moments unexpected that little girl still cries. When you told the story, shared that little girls sorrow, you gave pieces of it all to us. Pieces that take away the strength/hurt this had over you. It makes the shadows behind the locked doors we keep in our minds, safer and less frightening. I'm glad you were able to find the courage to share. If nothing else, maybe someone else who needs to hear it will realize they are not alone in their pain. You prove without a doubt the beauty of the spirit that survives such a harsh environment. Thank you for sharing. (Hugs)Indigo It appears I’m not the only one who strives to find the beauty in the ugly.
