		<description><![CDATA[Yes, my sweet Pearl. You will not only walk again, you will fly.
You understand the difference between &quot;lost&quot; and &quot;misplaced&quot; which I chose for the theme of my (neglected) blog. Being misplaced is a temporary situation, and you will find your way. I promise.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My God Pearl, how do you do that everytime?dig into my soul, my secret deepest feelings and give them words I can&#039;t.
I recently did exactly that; was totally honest with a fellow in hopes that he would realize he had to be patient, that I cared but was just so afraid of being hurt again. I don&#039;t know what I was thinking, that someone with evil intentions would hear the truth and say, &quot;This girl has hurt enough, I won&#039;t use and abuse her&quot;. I am not that niave, but I so wanted him to be a nice guy; I couldn&#039;t believe after all I&#039;ve been through, how far I have come I would meet another man who wanted to destroy me.
I am simply amazed at how you always capture what I am feeliing and you don&#039;t even know me.
Hugs xxxx to you Pearl

		<description><![CDATA[I have been waiting to reply to this post - I was the wrong person to do it is the reason.

Even reading it brought back flashes of what it is like to be left naked, torn and lost - thrown down wherever just to be rid of the spent nothing that was me. Fully clothed - not bleeding - not outwardly bruised...nothing that showed what was just done - the rape that my heart. my mind - my soul had just endured.

The bleeding, the fading - the death of something inside me that had trusted enough to be open when the first blow was dealt and stayed open during the rest of the attack...trust makes better rope than fear.

I am so very sorry i took so long to reply my Pearl.

Please forgive me in time if you can.

I want to be the one to wrap the softest blanket around you and hold you, rock with you where we are and pray for what we need next.

*hug*

Love,
your L.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My stolen moments ended up here - I wanted them to but I was worried about what you would think of the tears.

If you need them I can share - sometimes the dry hurts more I find...better that they find their way out.
