Message from this Teddy to the rest of the world

Darci was first assaulted by the teenager across the street at the age of five. He suggested a game of hiding in the bushes and peeking under clothes. It seemed fun until he tried to push his penis inside her and it hurt. He made her promise not to tell anyone and she didn’t until therapy 25 years later!
At the age of nine, while visiting a couple who were very close family friends in another city, her family went out for the afternoon leaving her alone with the trusted man in his 40’s who had been like a father figure to her older brother (still wondering about that relationship). She was sitting back on the pillows of the pullout sofa reading the comics of the newspaper when he quietly told her to continue reading and to not look past the paper. She felt his hands remove her shorts and panties and then felt his tongue on her private parts. It felt strange and exciting and she was too afraid to say anything because she didn’t know what to do. He continued for a while and then stopped. She was frozen and ashamed. He quietly told her not to tell anyone. Later she was taking a shower and he peeked in on her and smiled lewdly.
The next day, while they were at a lake, he found her by herself for a few moments on the boat dock and kissed her on the lips - french kissed! It was weird and gross! He did this a couple more times during the long weekend visit. She waited 21 years to tell anyone until she finally went through counseling and group therapy.
Today, Darci has a wonderful husband and family and lives a very happy life. It took many years to forgive, but she will never forget. She still feels too ashamed to tell people, but her loving husband knows and understands and thinks she’s the most beautiful woman in the world.

Be true to you, you are beautiful and warm, dont let them take it away, stand tall and be firm, have fun and laugh at yourself. Walk on the beach and feel the sand between your toes..smell the sweet rainforest and watch it grow.
