Apologies All Around

We can't always write things that are poetic and make us smile. Sometimes, we have to write with real courage and with tears and with a pounding heart. We have to dig, remember something we would rather forget, and write it down so it won't be forgotten but, rather, learned from. So I am so very, deeply sorry, for writing something that isn't pretty and isn't fun. But, don't you see I had to write about it. Not for you but for me!
