2. Oh Will, this is perhaps one of your finest pieces ever.

Smilies seem to trite for such a terrible subject. My niece is experiencing all that you've written about and more... my heart breaks for anyone whose been so remorselessly bullied.

rMoney could have chosen to seize the moment, expressed real remorse for his actions, and pledged to work towards eradicating this scourge. It says a lot about him that he chose to NOT REMEMBER ???!!!! Buggers belief.

Hugs to you

Hope for healing

I know my niece will never be whole. I fear for her future. It gladdens my heart to see that you made it out alive,
