The Importance of Community in a Life of Conflict

"I saw when through Ruthie's struggle with cancer and the way this community came out to help her I mean it it was absolutely incredible they did a fundraiser for her two months after she got sick" "There was always a St. Francis Phil sized hole in my heart if I can say that because I as blasphemous but continue I needed a place I wanted what Ruthie had" 'When I would stop and think about home my hometown I would get a little pain in the pit of my stomach because I remember the bully'  “And suddenly I noticed that feeling wasn't there anymore and I burst into tears and said thank you Ruthie thank you."
