thank you for writing this! I have struggled to clarify my thoughts and your words really helped. I am relieved to find such thoughtful, positive helpful words after wading through so many awful and thoughtless ones in the past week. I greatly appreciate that you address the fear people are feeling with such compassion.
Michelle

I am so glad that there are people in the world that take the time to write such beautiful words, and try to make this world a bit better than it is.

Thank you so much,

God made this world, he made you he made me and he made my fiance, and he never makes mistakes, you are a beautiful strong intelligent woman who, like me, is just a little fed up with getting stereotyped and dehumanized. Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth! God bless!
