Two quotes to take with you.
From. To Kill a Mockingbird

This is a dear book to me. A sad, but oh so poigniantly beautiful one.

It breaks my heart to hear your story.

You are the Mockingbird. Anyone here that was cruel to you has never walked in your skin.
My thoughts are with you...whatever you decide to do.

Be well my friend.

“You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it.”
― Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird

“Mockingbirds don’t do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They don’t eat up people’s gardens, don’t nest in corncribs, they don’t do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That’s why it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.”
― Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird
