Thanks Richards family for sharing your stories. The true impact from the stolen generations will never be forgotten. Every Australian needs to know & understand this.

Thank you for sharing your story. I could never imagine the pain you feel but see that it has been a pain you have carried your whole lives. The past and treatment of the Aboriginal people has no sensible answer other than the fact that people came with their own ideas of what they thought would be better for you but were wrong. No amount of apologies, compensation or government policies could ever replace what you have lost and it is a pain that is hard to heal because the memories are so raw and the hurt so deep. Australians today are not those people who hurt you and hopefully you don't have us all in one basket because many see how you are just stuck with no way out. I travel sometimes into the remote desert places and sometimes sit alone imagining how beautiful and peaceful Aboriginal life once was as you lived at one with your surroundings having a simple fulfilled life. We are all human and go through life and so far in my journey have found that God's love for me has been my comfort in the things I carry inside and hope in your own way that you find that same love. If I could give you a hug through the internet then know that I did. Thank you again for being so open and vulnerable to tells us your story and the hurt you have. Love to you all and hope my small recognition to you helps in some way.
