Michele -- I have such powerful imagery running through my mind; we become the little girl in the story, the wizardry of talented writers like yourself.

I'm sorry you went through that -- I admire how you use these memories to help others who may be in similar situations, and yet no matter where we are in life, there is a lesson here for all of us.

I must add -- I love walking through model homes! I have so many different memories about that...

Thanks for sharing this with us! It's very special.
