I woke up with the wind blowing through my little dress
I ate breakfast and smiled when I braided my hair into pig tails
My eyes started to squint and my face got hot

for me, six years cannot heal the wounds that one hour caused..
but one life is too short to dwell.
we grieve, we gather, we attempt to move on and sometimes we succeed, the sometimes we do not..
but it's the trying that matters.

we will never forget, we can only hope to prevent, understand, and assist in healing another's pain.

and for you, i understand and hope to be an assistance, should you ever need it.

as hard as it is you cant think about all the what if's....i know how hard that is to do but at the same time...one event isnt the only thing that has shaped what youve become...

you have become strong, independent...

you have become a rock for more people than you realize...

you have become mature and beautiful...

rape doesnt define you, it doesnt define who you have become...and every second that you let it do that...that you let it define you and think that it changed you...you are giving him power again and we both know he doesnt deserve that...you know im always here if you need to talk i have a few ideas for you about this...we will talk about this soon...
