Gale La Rose

''"When I was little my parents told me bad things happend to good people. I never really understood that until I saw my dad hit my mom. Or when my sister's fiance cancelled the wedding because he saw a highschool sweetheart at the diner. Or when I heard my old bestfriend got hit by a car and died, right after his volunteer job at the shelter. But I finally understood, when I came home and saw a note on the counter saying, 'I'm sorry.' And I saw drops of blood and tears heading towards the bathroom." - Gale La Rose''
