START:

I thought I would be nervous but I’m not. Because Jesus is giving me strength to speak. I don’t know where to begin because I’ve been unhappy as long as I can remember. My mother and father were unhappy, too.

[... … …]

End:

I want to give myself completely over to God so there's nothing else of me left, and then the pain will be gone and I’ll be saved. Without the love of my sister I would never have got through.
