Her skin so soft, like velvet,
Except softer,
As she reaches and pulls me
Towards her ............

    "I sat by my mother's bed, holding her hand, and made my amends. I told her how sorry I was that I had never allowed her into my life after I left home. I had been so filled with bitterness that I could not allow her to be part of my life. I had missed so much. She had missed so much."

We escaped today
But tomorrow is just
A day away .......

        "We lived in a little old farmhouse. There was cloth that served as a door to our bedroom.......

                "Almost every morning I would be in terror of his intrusion.............

Oh little girl
I know you're there,
I cannot see your face;

I feel you though,
I know you're there
Way down in that dark place ............

        "I can't remember where I was or what I was doing when she first appeared. It was as if the experience blotted out any other reality."

            "I felt something stuck to the outer part of my right hand. ........

                    " A little entity, shimmering and translucent, was attached to my hand." ........
