Forgiving is not an easy thing to do.

I'm afraid of elevators, because they are an enclosed space, but I get in.

A little goes a long way in Somalia: $5 will feed a person there for about two weeks.

I used my captors names every chance I had. It was intentional, a way of reminding them that I saw them, of pegging them, of making them see me in return.

After being in captivity for so long, I can't begin to describe how wonderful it feels to be home in Canada.

We all waited on an afterlife. Only I planned to be alive for mine.

I know firsthand how critical support systems are.
