Suratji, that is so beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing that story. I don't know that I would have been brave enough to do what you have...I have started many things like that and then quit because I can so easily start feeling like an outsider. What an amazing accomplishment, and what a beautiful reward that you received...being able to connect with someone like that. And, yes, we are "learning to navigate the world of people"...I love how you phrased this.

Squiggle, thank you...I love that we come here as equals....it's such a rare experience to be able to do that in this world.

Rainbow, thank you so much. Your words are so kind and genuine and I just so appreciate that you care.
