I Could Do It

In short, I was given a STRENGTH key after I had witnessed the death of some friends. It was not an easy way for people to go, and working through that took a lot out of me. My best friend gifted me the STRENGTH key to remind me daily that I could do it.

Months later, another friend of mine was telling me about something she was going through. It turns out that a family member of hers ended up being someone horrific capable of awful things and she was having to move on from the father she thought she knew. I was holding onto my key as she was telling the story, and that was when I knew she needed it more than me.

I told her why I had it in the first place, and what I hoped she could use it for.
