I had to write something about this. I don't want her life to defined by a Google search about suicide or death or rape. I want it to be about the giving heart she had. Her smile. Her love of life and the beautiful way in which she lived it. I found out this afternoon my daughter saved the life of a young woman with her heart. How fitting. She also gave someone a new liver, a kidney, a new breath, and a new chance to love. She saved the lives of four people with her final gift of life. She was that wonderful.

In November 2011, when Rehtaeh Parsons was 15, she went with a friend to a party. Her mother said she was raped by four boys. I've seen a common refrain expressed online: "What are we teaching our kids?" It's a good question to ask when four young men allegedly felt that they had the right to do whatever they liked to a girl who could not -- did not -- consent, when others at the party didn't intervene, and when a young woman's peers felt that sharing a photograph of the worst thing, likely, that had ever happened to her was justified. But I think a better question to ask may be "What aren't we teaching our kids?" Terri Coles http://www.huffingtonpost.com/terri-coles/
