Terse, harsh, direct. People are not as they seem in this cold world dear Eileen, yet to close your heart is i think a greater crime "Seppuku" love Shane xxx

btw, I hope though that this is not inspired by true events? If it is, I hope for healing for you, and to anyone else involved...sending you hugs

Yes, when you put it this way, it also makes one realize how brutal it can be, how heartless. 13 words, but fully loaded, Eileen! The images you included here, added to it, too!

Thanks for the visit, Jill. It was good to get it out of my system. Temporary relief, but the pain remains.
