It is important to talk about some of the desperately tragic things that go on at the fringes of our societies. In shining a light on the darkness, perhaps, just perhaps, we can alleviate the suffering of others; others who may be defenceless and alone and thinking that they live in a world where nobody cares about them. Secondly, thank you for sharing your own story of tough choices and even tougher loss. You seem to have found an excellent way to channeling your sorrow. Helping to create a more tolerant, informed and compassionate world is a noble challenge to have undertaken. Finally, as a teacher for 26 years, I have seen my share of students who "did not fit the mold". Such children can appear frustrating to work with/live with and, sometimes they are but, sometimes, it is our own limited view of what is possible when it comes to human existence that causes us to miss their beauty and their humour and their strength. Being an advocate for children is a beautiful thing. I commend your for your efforts to make the lives of children...all children... brighter and safer.

I can't pretend to know what I'd do in a situation like that, so I'll try to refrain from judgment, but wow does it feel wrong. In regards to your personal note, I'm so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine how difficult your decision must have been. You're a strong person with some strong words. The world needs to hear them. Keep writing; we're listening.Trifectahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16492626287830278024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19360846.post-80139235038128748592013-10-31T05:36:18.498-07:002013-10-31T05:36:18.498-07:00Certainly is one of the more terrifying situations...Certainly is one of the more terrifying situations to imagine yourself in.<br />to hear my mind when my body won't speak - lovely.kymmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18277722091216771412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19360846.post-20570445772819808132013-10-30T09:29:33.480-07:002013-10-30T09:29:33.480-07:00After reading the story I was going to say how sad...After reading the story I was going to say how sad it was.
