me too... sometimes I can "sense" a child's secret pain... once my neighbor's grandchild... it hurt so bad.. to see her to know.. to have to tell her grandma... and I was right.. it was her own son...and her grandchild.. was taken from.. the home.. to live with grandma..

so.. I see children.. and "I know"... is not the first time....

and battered women... I can tell in a heartbeat... after meeting them in person...

it makes... my soul ache.. with pain..
