I wish that others knew that I was more than their conclusion after reading words on a page. I wish they would think that I could be more than my mistake. I wish they know how sorry I was. And how I hated myself for years. I wish people knew that I had to stop hating myself in order to heal. I wish they knew how often I thought of Tim, Rob, their mother, and Michelle. I wish they know how much I owe Tim. I wish they would remember Tim as more than a victim.
