Wanna read a really cool, inspiring story?? Not political

It's the story of Heather. Her father killed her mother and then himself when she was 12. With all of the crap going on in the world this story made me smile if even, for a little while.

Enjoy

1. Remarkable young lady
She has been through more tragedy in her life than most of us can even imagine, and she seems fairly well grounded. Kinda makes people have faith in religion. I wish her good luck throughout the rest of her life. Let's hope she has a long and productive one.

2. The religious aspect got me too but...
she even did that the right way. She studied Hinduism, Buddhism and traveled to India and you notice she's not a fundie.

It's stories like that show you that no matter what problems you have, they're miniscule to what others are dealing with every day. I wish her well also.
