This story was sent to me be email. It is one of the many stories circulating on the internet, so I don't know if it's true or not.
I decided to include it here because the beginning of the story resonated so clearly with my own memories, and my guess is that it will also resonate with other site visitors as well.
Until recently, the memories alone were enough to make my heart beat faster and I could feel the anxiety rising in the chest and throat.
But, enough time has passed now that I can read about this kind of situation without falling apart.
