A part of me died with you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6533300378486489426.post-20618971702752161942008-10-13T15:06:00.000-04:002008-10-13T15:06:00.000-04:00Great letter--and what a great brother you are! I'm sure your sister was so impressed that you took a stand like that for her. <BR/><BR/>I haven't had much to say about Matthew Shepherd myself--it all seems so long ago, even a lifetime ago. When this happened, I was still a Jesus-lovin' gay boy trying to fight my way out of the closet! <BR/><BR/>I like to think our country is in a much better place today--but we can never take anything for granted. Thanks for standing against hate.Riverwolfhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16189669972611974473noreply@blogger.com
