Oh, Dana - what amazing writing! I started this yesterday and was so enraptured by what happened--but then my life was interrupted and didn't finish it-- I had to come and dig through all of your stories to find it to finish it today!!!!
Wow - you've been busy -- I had to scroll down past many articles! ;-) Nicely done lady!
I feel this story in a year or two will be one of your most popular and it's my hope it'll be viral. There's so much in this story to understand and unpack...thank you for being so open and allowing us to learn through what you have experienced. It was the most touching story ever to hear of your dad's change. PLEASE do a follow-up if you guys ever see each other in the near future...and hoping so much he's continuing to do well. All the best to the both of you beautiful angels...so glad you were given this gift! Marvelous!!!
