Colette, I don’t think you are capable of hurting my feelings. I have never been through the horror you experienced and I wouldn’t dream of wanting you to be quiet about it, complacent, silent. I thought every word you wrote was brilliant and heartbreakingly accurate and I learned from it. I love you dear friend and marvel at you. You may not realize it, but you are a warrior of the most valiant type and you have my undying admiration.
