OH MY GOODNESS. When I first ...Oh my goodness, Rex. OH MY GOODNESS. When I first read your Sorry post I could barely make sense of the gravity of it. I'm not sure why. But I read it back again now and think: FAR OUT. <br /><br />And then this post... this post is beautiful healing steps. So sensitively and powerfully expressed. I hope there is healing for you and your friend as time goes on. Shame on the adults that let this childhood happen for you. We have such a responsibility as adults for our children, don't we? Please don't hold on to the burden of what you didn't do - because you were young too, you didn't have the strength or wisdom that you do now. I forgive myself all the time for things done and said as a child. Your loving heart and sensitivity is amazing. Much love to you and your friend. xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12792458456135563307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5787613090344936525.post-28213748544493892672012-08-24T13:23:22.229+10:002012-08-24T13:23:22.229+10:00I too will respond.

You are so sweet. <br /><br />I was almost going to e-mail you and ask if I could add your response to the post, and here it is... perfect. You define what I try to do. And I have no idea how I do it, because I have no method- other than to just start writing. Thats when things.... start to unfurl. The thoughts I put here are the clear ones though.<br /><br />Thank-you so much Jen, it is nice to be reassured. I imagine its not an easy piece to respond to, I guess.<br /><br />I think she is reading. I hope she feels our love.<br /><br />xxoo<br /><br />rexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06483003532396329746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5787613090344936525.post-53723947440433774552012-08-23T15:08:32.974+10:002012-08-23T15:08:32.974+10:00I don't see any comments here and I'm imag...I don't see any comments here and I'm imagining you fretting about your decision to post this piece after all. So here's me!<br /><br />I've already emailed you but I just want you to know that I've read this post a few times and I'm so glad you wrote it and shared it. Each time I read it that first lines hits me . . . as do the others that come after it. <br /><br />I reread my email to you as I wondered what I should write here. <br /><br />So I shall say it again. I think this is beautifully and sensitively written piece about something almost unspeakably sad/dark/unjust/criminal/deplorable/I don't know what.<br /><br />Unspeakable except that you find words for it - ways in, so that others can understand that there's more to life that the bubbles they float around in, that our actions affect others, and that these awful things that happen in the nicest of communities have ongoing, profound, awful ramifications.<br /><br />That's the power of words, isn't it? The power to expose, the power to open our eyes, the power to heal. I think that's the beauty of what and how you write, Rex. You really tap into that without heaping it onto people.<br /><br />It's true that since I read this, it has been echoing in my head and I've been googling to gain a better understanding. It's not going away anytime soon, is it? But I wish you peace with these painful, difficult memories.<br /><br />You don't have to deal with any of this alone. <br /><br />Much love to you, and to our amazing, beautiful,adored friend, if she's reading this. xx<br />Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06961950617942632781noreply@blogger.com
