Rose -- This piece shows the importance of community. We certainly try at The Memoirist and Age of Empathy to support our writers best we can. I can be a little behind on social media posts, but all I can say is I had chills when I read your piece. Chris and I both loved every word and it deserves all the attention it can get. You are an insightful, empathetic, and introspective writer -- so open with what you have to share. If we are ever slow on pushing things out for you, please just speak up like you did to Chris and we will quickly jump into motion. You SHOULD be proud of your piece. We are. You have become an important member of our family. I hope the stats are up. If not, let me know and I'll take a look and see if there's anything more we can do. xo - Ki
