A
To
conclude,
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
everyone
from
the
intern
who
made
me
oatmeal
when
I
woke
up
at
the
hospital
that
morning
to
the
deputy,
who
waited
beside
me
to
the
nurses.
Who
calmed
me
to
the
detective.
Who
listened
to
me
and
never
judge
me
to
my
advocates,
who
stood
unwaveringly
beside
me
to
my
therapist,
who
taught
me
to
find
courage
and
both.
