In reply to Cami. Wow, Cami -- thank you so much. Writing (and reading) can be so cathartic.

In reply to Kate. Thank you so much Kate. Writing has always been cathartic and these days it makes me feel closer to my mom, a prolific writer. I too am curious to see where life takes me next.

Oh Alex. You’ve managed to put into words feelings I’ve yet to make sense of in my own life. I’ve got nothing but admiration for you, both as a care giver and a writer.

Hi Alex-
As others have said, thank you for your honesty and being vulnerable. Selfishly, it’s just so helpful for people to know they are not alone. I can only hope that writing these posts brings you some peace and helps you in your healing journey. It must be quite a mix of feelings to realize how much the last year had changed you. I am happy to be along for the ride to see where life takes you next as you move forward. Much love!

Hi Alex, I’ve been following you for years now, and i’ve always been really moved by your ability to put into word, with sincerity, grace and hindsight, those hard things life puts our little human hearts throught sometimes. And this post is so, so powerful, meaningful, beautiful, it touches my soul very deeply. Thank you so much for the strengh it must have taken you to write it, and share it with us. How lucky, us, your readers, are.

In reply to Danie. Thanks Danie, that is my hope -- to make someone in a terribly lonely position feel a little less alone.
