I appreciate you sharing your story and I've been so inspired by the light you continue to shine despite it all. Thank you for reaching out. Thank you for being here.

We have so many things in common... Then I saw the post about Holly and my heart sank. I am so very saddened by this tragedy, for all of your family, and especially Maddie. Thankfully she has the love and support you all can give her. Holly was a beautiful girl, and you're right, her smile was amazing! I pray for God to grant you peace, and forgiveness, when you're ready for it. My husband was brutally attacked by several gang members a few years ago and survived, but he now has AIDS because of it. Anger can consume us, if we let it. I pray you can move past it, so your heart does not become bitter. I pray for justice, and for healing hearts for all of you. I hope you can continue to celebrate the memory of Holly in some way, every day, for she lives on in all of you. I will keep you in my prayers! God bless all of you!!<br /><br />‘What we have once enjoyed deeply we can never lose.
