No matter how hard I try, I can't even get in the same ballpark as you...<br /><br />... but most importantly, thanks for writing. For sharing bits of you. For tearing off strips of your flesh and exposing your pain and your joy. For emerging from some hellish experiences and coming out stronger.<br /><br />To paraphrase Tom Cruise in "Jerry McGuire," you (help) complete me...Sioux Roslawskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17924021828536277618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107838361391025851.post-73249375684484622062015-12-17T20:37:50.964-05:002015-12-17T20:37:50.964-05:00I really like the rhythm of this.I really like the rhythm of this.Maude Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03669688074743095866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107838361391025851.post-91368793380772597252015-12-17T13:18:48.074-05:002015-12-17T13:18:48.074-05:00I'll throw your name into the canonization gam...I'll throw your name into the canonization game...
