Your beautiful, honest & hilarious writing is something I wished I had. When going through my brain surgery, I remember large bits of information, then not remembering anything.

You know you have a gift, even when your brain was open and vulnerable to the neurosurgeon's hands, you never lost the gift of writing. I hope you know how much it means to read these intimate, courageous words. I love you C. āœØšŸ’™

Aw man, thanks H. I have already lost chunks of the experience to whatever tunnel those things fall into, and can only imagine the tales you'd have to tell. I guess, trust, they end up where they need to. I so appreciate your thoughts. I love you too!

What a ride you have been on. I am grateful you are sharing it with us. Being a human being is really hard sometimes. The circumstances of our hardship may be different but the pain, the fear, the uncertainty, the messy way we all inhabit being here, with this. It's very, very relatable.

Blessings, blessing on your healing journey; our healing journey. May it be swift and may you feel the love that surrounds you!

Your story, step by slow step, is much like we had been told by Adam, but much better in its raw honest truthfulness. Although you both tell a brave and loving story. Each very brave, each very loving. Each of you still amazing us all and filling us with grateful love. ā¤ļø
