(15,236 posts)I know you're not looking for thanks, but please accept a thank you from me because, while I'm older now and better established, I've been that young woman in the past. So - thank you for stepping up and helping her.
Secondly, you are so correct in that we must stick together AND that we are different. I live in red state Texas and I increasingly find that Republicans, young and old, rich and poor, have absolutely NO empathy for anyone else. Whatever troubles another human being may have is always the fault of that person in some way. Republicans are either incapable or unwilling (mostly the latter, I believe) to accept that bad things can actually happen to good people...until, of course, something happens to they themselves.
We are different, and I am grateful to be among the ones who have the compassion and the enlightenment.
