Fragile

[In response to what I was feeling during a meeting in the commons last thurs.]

Sometimes when I hear someone tell a story so emotionally moving, I am at a loss for words. I want to say something, but the words never leave my lips. And especially if the story is dealing with a dark subject, I try to hold back my tears and my heart gets heavy. This happened Thursday, and their stories are still on my heart and mind. All I could say to one girl in particular was “I’m sorry you had to go through that…” She had went through something I have never experienced and I felt helpless to relate. I pray for her in particular, for her to have the strength to deal with her decision and for her to have the hope that things will get better.
