Today was the day that I was finally going to free myself from my father's abusiveness by taking my own life. I saved up moth balls and was going to eat them after school today so my father couldn't hurt me. Then Sandy, Cal's friend, came up to me and gave me a Nut Goodie bar from Cal. Right then I knew that Cal was with me and that I would be okay. I knew that I didn't have to kill myself because someone was with me. This is a song by Percy Mayfield that spoke to me in this situation.

Gretchen,
ReplyDeleteI am so thankful you have Cal for a friend. I am reminded about how small things can really help someone know they are valued.
