Jaqueline,

Then along comes yet another and rare account of a writer finally realizing her dream. What a road you've been on, my lord. I wonder if many would opt for throwing in the towell if they knew your story as rich and unique as it has to be in fact has a common thread! In the best of all ways of course.

Im so sorry about Ana. In a distant way I can grab onto some reflections of your story as mine as I too am a recovering cancer victim. Im so long overdue for a checkup...

Point being here is that its these awful, awful lessons we are given which in many ways provides us the stuff with which to write.

Congratulations to you, your strength, your clear sight into this long and tired path.

Have a good day.
