Although this story was a trigger , sometimes triggers are necessary. To remember and to move forward. I wish the best life for this woman

Heartbreaking powerful

While I don't like every story being told on here (due to personal comfort levels) I think they're necessary. The school shooter one really shook me to my core.

this was a twisting narrative. the speaker is absolutely amazing. he's inspiring and I just want to thank him for his continued sacrifice every day to save the lives of the innocent. I commend him for coming through what he has in his life to still want to give back to others.

Redemption through sacrifice and pain
