Lauren, thank you. Thank you for caring. Thank you for taking the time to write this. Thank you for taking your time to post on Social media. But mostly, thank you for helping me realize that I am not alone. It has been 18 years since I was in the midst of the extreme trauma, but so much of it has stayed with me. I've gone to counseling and I do credit that with saving me at the time. I turn to my faith now, but some of the trauma escapes and boldly reminds me. I look forward to working through more of the trauma and clearing my mind to absorb more of the beauty of what life has to offer.

Thank you, again - you are so very appreciated!
