A few weeks ago, one of the jurors in the trial that put my rapist away found me on Myspace. She was very young then and I remember her because on the day the trial ended, as soon as the jury was allowed to approach me she went around my neck and we cried together...she trembled and i could feel how genuinely hurt for me she was. Ive never forgotten that. She came to my house for a visit last night and we cried together again. She told me things I never had a way of knowing before. Like that in the beginning of the jurys deliberation....one man only wanted to sentence him for 10 yrs (he was sentenced 99). She told me a lot and had alot of questions for me. I have such a headache from crying last night, mostly after she left. It was a flashback for sure. And I was a little ashamed of what she saw, Im not the strong girl who she saw on the stand. I wish I couldve showed her that Ive moved on and that I didnt let it get me down. Instead, Ive turned down her invites to lunch because I cant handle getting out of my own house...anyway, she understood and came here. My husband sat with us for a while, but we had a chance to sit alone and its so easy to talk to her about the rape because she ALREADY knows every detail (and she wanted to hear what i had to say). That was my night and I look forward to getting to know her better. Hope everyone is having a great day
