““I found her today. I found that little girl that was me. I saw her from such a distance... I saw her and I wanted to run to her to hold her to protect her from all that was so very wrong in her world. My heart raced as I thought back... As I thought of how scared and quiet and painfully shy she was. I wanted to race to her to tell her she would be OK to tell her that she would live through her hell... that she would live through it all and grow to be so very strong... She would never have to hide again. And she would find others like her and give them the same comfort. I wanted to tell her of Love. And when I made it all the way to where she was laying, I paused at the beauty of her. I stood there as she looked at me she yawned, and she smiled, put down her book, stretched out her arms to me, and said ''I have been waiting for you. I love you””
