Each one has treated my sister and me with compassion, and with no hint of recognising that we are of an age to have undoubtedly benefited from a system that did nothing for them they have been a shining light of what human beings can be, in the dark, atrocious world of what they actually are among them all stands one dignified woman, one exceptional woman i will never forget her title is court preparation counsellor she was ample – not only in appearance, but in the abundance of her love and kindness that made me instantly tearful in the safety she represented and courage she invited ‘ here, my dears, in here ’ she ushered us into a small, empty courtroom, used to prepare victims in a realistic setting ‘ this is to help you know what environment to expect, to make it less daunting ’ she closed the door behind us and invited us to sit on a long bench, facing where the magistrate would be she stood in front of us ‘ there will be nothing to be afraid of, my dears i will come in with you and be here all the time if you need me you just look at me i’ll be here for you ’ embarrassed, i could feel tears coming ‘ come here,’ she said, seeing that lisa and i were shaky and nervous ‘ nobody can hurt you now ’ she pulled us both towards her, one on each side, and held us, just like we were two small girls in the safety of a mother’s arms ‘ it was terrible,’ she said, ‘but you don’t need to be frightened any more i will sit here every minute with you if you want me to you just call for me and i will come ’ and with that, she pulled herself tall, releasing us to watch her as she declared: ‘ and when you see them,’ she spat the word out with distaste, ‘you look neither left nor right you do not even give them a tiny glance you hold your head up high and give them the cold shoulder ’ and she walked across the room with all the dignity and bearing she could muster, slapping her right hand hard against her left shoulder ‘ there! like that the cold shoulder just the cold shoulder you give them nothing but the cold shoulder ’ she strutted and slapped across the room again, head held high, nose in the air ‘ that is all they deserve from you, my dears ’ then, with an indignant sniff as a finale to her oscar winning performance, she fell about laughing – and so did we i had a feeling she had done this before she would have had to learn many times over when to give the cold shoulder and when to just laugh i think that is a lesson worth learning to this day, i remain astounded that such a mundane and innocent suggestion nof taking a drive to look at christmas lights could toss a grenade into our family, blowing out the holes that let the wolves in walls can always be rebuilt, but too often the victim becomes the prisoner
