Thank you for this, Jena. Thank you for the gift that is you. I am grieving, and the mother lion has awakened in me on behalf of my daughter and my two stepdaughters. For all our daughters. For all of us. How I use that fierce and powerful voice is yet to be determined. I'll wait until my rage and terror has settled a bit more. Then, count me in!

I can only imagine your outrage as a mother. I trust we will know when we have healed and are ready to use our voices. Hugs dear friend.
