Makes Me Think - Today was his funeral. He died in a car crash. Hundreds of people attended. In addition to posts all over Facebook and Twitter, eulogies were given describing him as "having a heart of gold," "truly kind" and "one of the most genuinely good guys anyone has known." Everyone talked about how wonderful he was. I stood in the back, thinking about how he beat and raped me. The fact that no one knew the real him will always MMT.

It is sad, but this seems to be the human nature of this part of the world. We don`t know how to act differently out of `respect`for the dead no matter who they were. I am sorry for what you had to endure. I know it isn`t the same, but my brother went through a similar situation when the guy who bullied him from when he was in elementary on through to high school committed suicide and had to carry the burden of not know how to feel or react.
