We meet them together.

You give them your statement.

Your story.

As if they haven't heard it a hundred times.

Maybe coming from your mouth will be different.

We can only hope.

They want to see you.

To see the damage.

Is it lasting?

Permanently.

Will the wounds heal?

With time.

You just want to help.

That was all you ever wanted.

To let people know.

To make a difference.

But you've made your mark.

It may not have been the one you wanted to make.

But it had a huge impact, none the less.
