How were we ever t...Much love to you, my friend. <br /><br />How were we ever to know what was really going on in the lives of our friends as we were growing up. Hell, my own family didn't even know what I was dealing with back during high school. That's the shame that the perpetrators use to control.<br /><br />Just so you know, you were there for me even though you didn't know what was going on. It was the fun that I had with you and so many others in choir and theatre that got me through those years without giving into the toxic shame and suicidal ideations. Also, you were one of the kindest people I knew then through all my theatre years. I don't remember you ever being mean to anybody. <br /><br />Please know that I'm a survivor. And you are too! I don't know if I could survive that bathroom, flu, incident that you relayed a few days ago. Yikes! You are more resilient that you know, and what we can do is learn from what happened to me and make the world a better place for our children, nieces and nephews, neighbors, and orphans of the generations to come.<br /><br />Don't worry about about releasing the floods of your water on my blog. I'd love to chat with you on the phone. I'll email you my number.<br /><br />All the best to you and the kids.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09287766221338224016noreply@blogger.com
