Just got back from my 2nd time speaking as part of the TIPSY program. Great group of young people today, and it was quite emotional for me (again)...telling Melanie's story in this way is a difficult thing to do, but I feel some satisfaction that, I hope, at least one young person's life may change for the better (and yes, I mean "continue") because of it. One gentleman (a teacher I assume) who came with the group told me that, through speaking about her in this way, she continues to live on.
