But that was all done now.

Kylie was the kind of girl who doubted everything she did, every emotion she felt, every dream she had and every decision she made.

But she was the sweetest girl you would ever meet.  And within her heart, she had a sweetness greater than what she could ever show on the outside.  It was a sweetness of genuine, pure love.  And her greatest dream was to open her heart and touch every living thing with that love.  Being so overbearingly insecure and having no self-esteem at all, it seemed unlikely she would ever live her life to the extent of her heart.

That was before she met Margaret, an older woman who not only recognized the familiarity of the Kylie’s shyness but also could see exactly what she needed.

It was very simple:  Kylie needed to be taken by the hand and shown the way.  And since Kylie had met Margaret on a website for people with secrets, she knew she would never have to reveal the littlest secret she kept harbored inside her, wrapped in a security blanket of her own love.

Kylie used to be a girl without direction and without hope.  Now, she was a BabyGirl, surrounded with a love that she recognized.  It took her a little while to embrace the thought that being vulnerable was okay.  That was a challenge Margaret helped her to face.

But that was all done now.
