Thanks for that magical story of a woman who was truly an incarnation of LIFE. And in telling her story, you shared a bit of yours, and that is a gift as well.

Mary Kay, your story brings an absolute love in this chaotic world. Even if it hit me hard when she swam home. You are an amazing writer and genius by doing it the way you do it. Grazie
