I held my hand to my chest so tightly from the beginning of this and could not let go...I stopped. Re-read. Why did he write "6 months" -- why? Is this a typo -- what is he referring to?...the imagery was such a shock to my system and I kept reading, reading her reply and it was painful.

Your words are healing...unifying. Thanks for sharing this.

It is truly unfathomable.

I want to click on her story - and I don't. I think sometimes I'm ready for those stories, and today I think I can't. I'm just glad you're in this world -- helping to weave the connectedness while being thousands of miles apart but instantly offering reconciliation.

A post of hurt and healing...thanks.
