Milly,

My heart goes out to you.

No child should ever have to deal with so much and I'm sorry you had to.

It is truly amazing that you have come out of all that such a poised, smart young woman who is taking such giant healing steps at fourteen. I applaud you.

I admire the courage it took to tell your story. What you've endured would bring the strongest to their knees, yet you stand stronger, with your hand extended, offering support.

That is remarkable.

Petunia
