Yo-cuz Amy: Are you surprised we didn’t sit around family gatherings and talk about why that creep returned me? I think we all know the answer. Okay, enough humor. Thanks for the love and support. xoxo

Jesus, Susan. I hadn’t ever heard the details. What a nasty, horrible man. You are a strong, beautiful woman and I’m glad that you had the courage to write about this experience.

Deb: Thanks. It is a good example of how tragedy makes us stronger. We all have those experiences at some point in life. My lesson was just taught when I was young.

Lisa: I have no idea what ever happened to Vicky. I need to ask my mom if she knows how to reach her (maybe Facebook can help – I hate FB otherwise). I’d love to see how she’s doing.

OMG Susan!! Wow! I don’t even know what to say but I’m so glad this situation made you stronger and I feel for poor Vicki. Again, wow. You ARE amazing!! I feel my platonic girl crush on you just grew…

I’m grateful you shared this. I hope it was cathartic and not just difficult (that’s a given). You’re an amazing woman with a crazy strong sense of life, humor and self. I’m sorry you went through this, and sorry for Vicki too, but glad you came out the other side feeling stronger.
