This statement is so precious.

Living with the memory of what created this situation you are now living with, and having it brought back to the forefront of your mind in everyday life routines and outings is beyond any physical or interpersonal experience I have ever endured. Let alone the consideration of all the other experiences you survived during your childhood. And yet having read your story all the way to the end, there is one thing that sticks out to me most – you made a conscious decision to see the beauty in something that was created as the result of an immeasurably painful circumstance.

Although I am in tears as I write this note, I am not in need of comforting. More than anything I feel called to action, specifically as a future parent and voice of influence. The mere instance of you sharing this story – be it one of many – is a testament of our capacity for strength and resilience.

I am humbled and awestruck at this reading, and I look forward to experiencing the various other dimensions of your work. Thank you so much for sharing.
