					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.randybassett.com/innocence-lost/#comment-72&quot;&gt;Charlene Scutella&lt;/a&gt;.

Hi Charlene. Thank you for the wonderful comment and for taking the time to read this post. Unfortunately, too many people have endured this, but for a variety of reasons, have tucked it away. I also pray that it helps others from this pain and helps others gain a voice to elude these predators. Thanks again.]]></description>

Hi Tracy. You&#039;re right, it wasn&#039;t easy. It took me a long time to write it over the past few weeks. I agree wholeheartedly with the idea you touched upon - not really knowing who it will touch and when, yet also realizing that not knowing that is okay. What matters is the faith that it is out there, ready to it&#039;s job when the right person needs it. Thanks, Tracy.]]></description>

Hi Jean. Sorry to hear that idiot was so threatening to you. I am glad you got to the point of realizing you did nothing wrong. As I said in the post, shame is a funny thing, but so are its relatives, guilt and regrets. They are particularly cunning when they are imposed upon us with no fault of ours, yet our minds trick us otherwise. I am glad you sprung above. Thanks also for your kind words.]]></description>

Thanks, Darlene. You are very correct, memories don&#039;t go away. They fade, but then they occasionally make some noise and seek attention. This post is way of allowing the memory to flow in a healthier way. I always appreciate your support, cuz. Lots of love back at ya&#039;.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[What a horrible thing to have to go through. Thank you for sharing.  It  made me reflect back on an incident that happened to me.  In my youth I had a boy who made advances on me.  I turned them down.  He was angry.  A bunch of us went swimming and he stayed above the water and wouldn&#039;t let me up.  I was panicked running out of air.  I finally pushed off the side and was able to get up. I kept this to myself as I felt I had done something wrong.  Many years later I learned that this individual had been incarcerated.  I don&#039;t know for what, but it made me reflect back and realize that I had done nothing wrong. Thanks Randy, great writing.  You and Sue amaze me with all you do and everything you have accomplished.]]></description>
