“Do you love me?” she asked, breaking the silence between us. This was Rebecca, the 50 something year old sister of one of the women in my community. Rebecca suffered mental disabilities, lived elsewhere and was visiting her sister Lily. Rebecca had heard my name spoken at home and had expressed a desire to meet me. When Lily told me about her mentally challenged sister and asked if I was willing to meet her, I will admit I had some hesitation. I had no training in this. Als
