  1. I knew when I started to read this that it would be poignant and hit me somewhere, startling me. But this hit hard in the GUT. WOW! I don’t know you, we are not friends. We have just begun to read each other’s work. I do hope that I have the honor of getting to know you for everything you say though your pen has great value. Thank you.
