I'm more moved than I know how to say that you found this post and left this comment. And I am so happy Jessica is doing well, and I hope you and your mother are, also. It is an enormous ordeal to have survived. I admire and honor your strength. I wish your family the best.

I'd think that whatever you might have managed to hold onto, leaving Wisconsin for Australia? Has to be pretty important. You tell your man I said so!

Whoa. This is like…well, whoa. Stuff like this makes you stop and think about the things that are important, and not dwell on the superficial. Thanks for sharing, sweets.

I have a few little memory files around – clippings, photos, poetry. John usually questions why I continue to hold onto them.

I know. I feel like the family in the AP story is kind of like… a shadow presence in my own life? It's hard to explain. But, yeah, it's why this newspaper clipping has followed me everywhere I went for the last 16 years. Which is a lot of places. Crazy, crazy places…

This is a really beautiful and touching post. Isn't it interesting that there arepeople who touch our lives without ever knowing it?
