    Emily,
    Your essay sums up my feelings about that word so perfectly! I don’t normally post comments online, but I was so moved by what you wrote. People need to understand just how ugly and hurtful that word is. My daughter Meghan is friends with Joey and we know that he is a wonderful young man! He is blessed to have such wonderful siblings and parents!
