Dear Amanda

October 15, 2012 by Nancy

Today I watched your video I cried for you. So many times I am amazed at the human spirit and human kindness. Today I am ashamed to be part of the human race.

I was walking on the beach last week and I found my heart. There it was lying in the sand. The waves had pushed it up right in front of my path.
