Now I know I'm actually eliciting the reader response I'd hoped for!!!

Ira--I consider you a prolific writer, so this is really touching, thank you. I'm honored that my stories helped you consider telling your own and exploring a whole new way of being vulnerable with your trauma. (Did I do that?)

You so naturally fit into our family...it's hard to think of a time you weren't there. I am so glad you are. xo-Ki
