Emily, This essay took my breath away. It is heart-rending and beautiful, and full of such hope and vulnerability. I am grateful for who you have grown yourself into, and for your words and heart and life. Hugs from me.
Thank you, Susan. I really appreciate it. I also appreciate the “grown yourself into.” I have grown myself up into something different than what was expected of me, than what I expected. It feels like a miracle.
No words I can add to the lovey ones above, other than that I could hear the floorboards creaking and smell the musty old house smell as I read. Exquisite.

Thank you, Sarah. I’m glad you could smell the smells and hear the sounds.
