Looking back and remembering where I have been is hard for me, too. Sometimes it&#8217;s hard to believe that I\u2019m alive and well. I survived and will I continue to answer questions hoping to help others. I have faith. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Thank you for believing that I inspire survival, hope and courage. I was the lucky one. I believe there is a reason for everything and that my story is meant to be shared. I am grateful to receive a second chance to live. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>I can understand the anger you feel towards people who abuse children; I feel that, too. But there is hope in sharing and paying attention to the signs in the children around us. Those who abused me have been silenced. I no longer am a victim to my past. I try my best to look forward.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>It is Dr. Baer&#8217;s and my hope that knowledge will be gained through our story. I pray to be in God&#8217;s service for as long as I am needed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Thank<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--EndFragment--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comment by Becky on 14 Oct 2010 at 8:49 pm Karen, My mind cannot comprehend all that you have experienced.
