Katherine,

I am saddened to hear how awfully you suffer. Let's all of us walk shoulder to shoulder through our sharing our experiences through our writing. We're strongest together where the demons can't single us out. Fuck them! :-) Your writing has been powerful for me to read and I'm so grateful I found you here. I hate my anniversaries because they always sneak up on me. It's like, they're going to come every year, Chris. Duh! Through this piece I wan't readers to grow in empathy through my experience so they can be there for their loved ones on a higher level. Thank you for taking the time to read it and comment. You're a true value.
