Sammi, I know it took me a few months to publish this and I really thank you for waiting. I love your writing so much and I can assuredly say that the flawless flow of the story that you tell here is unlike any It Happened To Me I have ever published (we could do the math of roughly 1 per month for 20 years and then about 1 a week for 20 more years - in other words, a lot!).

Thank you for telling it in such a beautiful way and letting me be the one to publish it. Please keep writing and writing.

🥹 Thank you, Jane. That means a hell of a lot.

This story has a lovely calm that I really enjoyed. Sometimes these pieces have a desperate manic quality that is exhausting to read. This one is different. Sammi’s perspective, I imagine, was hard earned. Though you have moved past the years of “youthful joy,” Sammi, you seem to have found (or nurtured) something more solid.
