do you believe in God? page 8 by ric gustafson
Cassie began attending the youth group at West Bowles Community Church. Over time, Cassie made new friends including Jamie. Between freshman and sophmore years, Cassie told me she wanted to transfer to Columbine High School. There, she made friends easily. She did not flaunt her new faith.
When Cassie said yes to Dylan and Eric, it became a national headline. People began calling my daughter a martyr. I did not like people calling her that.
I'm proud of my daughter standing firm to those two killers. She had principals and morals. She was not ashamed of them. When I heard what Cassie had done, I was very proud of her. She's stronger than I will ever be. I don't think Cassie would of wanted to be singled out for praise.
I think it is unnecessary to call Cassie a martyr. I'm just proud of her standing up for what she believed. At that point in her life, Cassie was happy. Jesus was living in her. That makes me happier than anything else.
Thank you for reading my story.
The End
