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?
