Touched

I just came across this video on Facebook today.  I'd seen it circulating a couple times (maybe you have, too) and like most videos I see on Facebook, I generally ignore them (various reasons).  But I watched this one.. and it touched me in ways that I can't verbalize.  It became personal.  I identify with this kid so much (the way he carried his pain, the way he decides to survive anyways) that I wanted to post it here.  And since this blog is about making real the things we often keep hidden, it inspired me to share it with you.  I hope it touches you, too (and maybe you can even identify with it).
