Yeah. I definitely cried. Like, a lot. And that takes a lot for me.
I love reading stories about tortured people on the inside, and I realized that I used to know a kid that was just like Bert. He graduated my high school last year and is still alive, but had that quality to him. The type of person that you wish you could save.
Thank you for moving me.
