“At the onset, Jacob was reluctant to open up or trust anyone because of all he had been through. I made no attempt to develop a plan or to force any conversations. We would just talk. Talk about anything and nothing at all. I shared some of my life and he began to share some of his. At one point he introduced me to his mother-he allowed me to see that part of his life and why he was so conflicted about the mother he loved but could not trust.” – Olive Crest, May 13, 2022
