Dear Rudy,
How unbelievably true. I wish adults realized that children are born blank slates and so many cruel and horrible things adults say and do to them and around them (whether they realize what they are doing or not) are often written into the subconscious of those children in indelible ink. I am 53 years old and struggle every single day to try to undo or "write over" so many things. There must be a reason why I am here, but I've yet to figure it out. Your faith in God is awe-inspiring.
