Dear Kane
What I Wish We Would Have Said
By Sharon K Angelici
Do the words that we say in front of our children build them up or tear them down?
This short story explores the consequences of hatred and bigotry when it applies, unknowingly, to someone that you love. There’s a time in every relationship when a parent must let go of the dreams they have for their child, so the child can chase what they dream to become.
