You wrote to me on 2/5/06 and you helped me a lot. You affirmed my feelings and kept me from feeling so alone. I would really like you to stay. It's not a burden to me to have you here even if all you are doing is expressing your pain. You are entitled to that and it's no sacrafice to listen to you. You express your inner beauty and your dignity when you grieve over your past. That you have done so here shows your courage, because it takes a couragous person to be that honest with other people about such profound pain. You have inspired me and I hope in time to do the same for you.

Whatever your decision, be well. You'll be in my prayers either way.
