| I felt so much better after speaking with someone. My mind was put at ease. Because of you, I know that I'm strong enough to face these obstacles. I know now that I can make my own choices. It's because of you that I know I will be able to walk out of here with my head up, knowing that I will get to breathe another breath. |
