Daily Sun's managing editor is my holiday season hero

To The Daily Sun

Congratulations to you Roger (Carroll) for sharing your story (ongoing). Just finished episode two and choose to write before reading the third.

Whitney is a lucky girl indeed to have you as her dad. Your true strength has emerged waging war against the horrors too often experienced by our youth. I'd like to think the predators of the young will eventually be better understood as I feel they were once victims as well. Retribution to a degree seems meaningless in the face of the damage done and the need to help decent people like you, who will recover with help.

I'm certain the system isn't perfect in any way and while your anger is justified with the varied messages and rules you perceive and are subjected to, I have tremendous empathy for those folks as well. So many people under stress, all with their own challenges certainly makes you appreciate the kind face, the gentle gesture and small tokens of love we are blessed with upon occasion. Bless you brother. Hang tough. Get better. Keep writing. Bring the message and awareness to all you can. You are my holiday hero.
