Dr. Gardner (said in much love and humbled by your wisdom, love, and all you evoke in your writing, amazing author) --

You always say SO much with as few words as possible.

I will say this for as long as I'm able to write: you are one of the best writers and my favorite writers on this platform - from the first moment, I read you!!

Thank you for this piece. It touched me.

(and I'm not even a morning person! ;-))
