Caitlin, I’m touched and honored, especially because I know that your important dreams turn into gorgeous paintings! Thank you for being my reader and my friend.
Hello Barbara, what a deeply touching account of a troubling past. As I read every word, it evoked memories of my own unhappy upbringing in a household that resembled more a conservatory that I wished were less rigid. My resistance as the only male member of the family became a war of wills with my mother and eventually turned ugly and bitter. More than those deets perhaps I’ll share at a later time. Meanwhile, I’m eager to read more of your entries! And maybe ask my partner (a gifted cook as well as a nurse) to peruse the lasagna recipe and try it out, despite my hesitation about kale. Raw kale as a salad ingredient strikes me as an exercise in exhaustive chewing akin to ingesting unsavory paper. But cooked in a pasta with cheesy tomato sauce? I’m considering it lol. Thomas
I’m honored and delighted, Thomas, with your every word! I will hold you in my heart with gratitude as I write the next installment. I am one lucky writer!
