I faced some demons yesterday and went to see the movie. Thanks to Mr. Caviezel and all for making a good movie. I've been thru this experience though not in the movie's manner. This happens here in the good old USA, folks. It's right around your corner. Almost 50 years ago in small town USA, I faced this. Those that did the deed were my friends or so I thought. They gave me my baby shower. No family deserves that horror. I closed myself off, became non social. Still am to this day. I trust no one. My son had just turned one year old when this happened. Today? My son is dead. He suicided four years ago next month. You see, the movie showed you the first fruits of freedom. It did not show you the real trauma and the real outcomes of this evil, evil crime. Something good came this morning though. I awoke after a dream where my daughter in law's mother was placing our nearly born great granddaughter into my arms. This was in the future. I have no great grandchild yet. Perhaps God is in his heaven and just maybe all will be right with His world. Her name? Mandy.
