i wish i would have known


i started out having what i thought was a bad day. this morning while biking to work some asshole apparently thought i looked like a great target for their bumper and tacoed my wheel as they made their way through the intersection. i use the ambiguous pronoun they because i have no idea who or what they were since they had better things to do then to stop and see how i managed to escape unscathed even as my bike was being mangled beneath me. i just built that wheel myself at the start of the season and now ive got to throw it away when i get home you fucking dick. but like i said i considered my day to be bad until i read the news about jordan amber gonsioroski.
now ive got something to really be upset about. she was only 2 years older than my daughter and looking at her photo i cant fathom how someone could do such things. hearing stories like this makes me want to become a child protection worker. the problem is i would surely end up in prison my first day. i couldnt visit the home of an abuser like this without...well... my imagination really runs wild from here.
looking at jordans picture i keep thinking that i surely loved her more than her own parents even though i never met her.

if you ever suspect abuse please dont be afraid to speak up. kids in these situations could really use your help.

I cried when I saw this story on the news last night. You're absolutely right, I'll bet complete strangers loved Jordam more than her own parents did.
