One of my best friends growing up started turning tricks after high school and was found murdered in a dive at age 19. What an incredible waste. He was beautiful and so smart. I have asked myself "why" a million times.

You have had an incredible journey so far, and I appreciate that you are sharing some of it with us. K&R
