Thank you for this post Sharon. It went right into my heart. Definitely would have love her as a friend. I was amazed the "shadow boxes" and diary/journal keeping Though my story is different the fact that we lived what I feel parallel lives just amazes me. I am inspired to continue on.
Thanks again for all you do that inspires so many!
As ever,
