When I struggle to read the words through tears, the story sings. As always your voice is there, and your heart, and with this one some serious honesty and courage. That's the way to write a story.

I always enjoy your weekly Savorings and learn more about you in every one. They are always thoughtful, insightful and full of beauty. This one was...really raw and painful. I cried and also celebrated how far you've come. I feel honored to have met your mom and to have spent a little time with her. I love you, Stefanie. You are a talented and gifted writer. Thank you for persevering!

Why is life so hard for some?
