@Andicook I'm glad you enjoyed the story. I know a lot of people in that situation, having worked in a prison. Although a large percent of the US population is impacted by incarceration, it is not a topic addressed often enough.
Thank you for writing such a touching story that really comes close to home for a lot of people out there. That story was really well done and hopefully gets some more votes from other people very soon.
I really like what you said about all of us wearing masks. That is so true. We do it as a protective devise, especially when we have been hurt when we made ourselves vulnerable and got slapped down or bullied.
