This is mighty powerful writing... witnessing... Love, fierce love in action.

thank you Nancy. As you know, Alice is ME. I’ve read and re-read this so many times as I composed it, and every time I read it, I can still feel those two ice-blue-eyed boys starting me down. It’s haunting, and yet the full expression of that walk is something that will live with me forever.

Yes, I do know you are Alice, but I didn't want to out you to the world. That's your perogative.πŸ˜‰ It's very powerful writing.

I’ve outed myself a few times in comments and replies.

This is a powerful piece, and I put the date and event in my calendar; I hope to make it. (Living in Ely.)

This was an event in the past. In feb of 2026. There is not another one scheduled.

I take back my first comment. Hopefully there won’t be a need for another one. But the crap is still happening, I imagine. This is so terrible.

Darn! I’ll keep eyes and ears out.
