If I had been murdered I would not now be writing this article!
If I had been murdered I would not wake up screaming in the middle of the night.
If I had been merdered I would not be afraid at times of even my best men friends and even relatives
If I had been murdered I would not be afraid of passing something emotional 
	to my daughter which could make her life less full beautiful.
If I had been murdered I would not have to worry about keeping my life
	full of things to keep me from remembering.


If I had been murdered....
If I had been....
If I had....
