I do not own Ghost Whisperer or any of the characters from the show. If any of them seems out of character, I beg your pardon.

I do not own Matthew Shepard or any members of his family. They are historical people. What happened to Matthew was real and his story is told in the play and movie The Laramie Project. If there is anybody out there who knows them, please don't be angry if they are out of character. I do not know them personally so I'm shooting in the dark.

The inspiration for this fanfic came from the theater group at my school performing The Laramie Project. I helped out in making the costumes for it, so I felt very close to it.

I dedicate this fanfic to the homosexual people that I know and care about. May none of you ever become the victim of a hate crime.

I also dedicate this fanfic to Matthew Shepard himself. Your story will never be forgotten.
