I'm glad it made you think. I think it is the reason why most people come to you with their problems. I know i went to my sister needing help because there is something about her that's....genuine. I didn't want to put all my problems onto her because she was having a hard time at the time but she was the only one that i thought would understand everything. Not only in the simple understanding sense but through the deep thoughtful kindness that she seems to possess (even though it sometimes seems to be hidden by her own hurt). There is some kind of connection that by-passes all hurt and fear - and i can see you have it. I hope you can see how valuable you are, because there are not many people around that have that special quality.
Love Abby
