Her Heart

There are times when certain circumstances strike our hearts. If you remember I wrote a poem back in March about eighteen month old Saoirse Fitzgerald, who died from Neuroblastoma, Stage 4 Cancer (if you haven't gotten a chance to read the poem, you can find it here). It struck my heart so hard and I just remember crying. 

Yesterday night, I read of a young girl named Amanda Todd, who had taken her own life because she was a victim of non-stop bullying (whether it be at her school or on the internet)  just five weeks after posting a pleading video on YouTube.

If you haven't watched the video, I urge you to do so. Know the signs of severe depression & self-harm-- and if you or anyone you know is being bullied, seek help immediately!
