That is very touching, ElsaMars.
I'll have to read it all again at home, because I started tearing up, and don't want to cry on the bus(!) ( ..any more than is strictly necessary anyhow )

But till then... do you know the tv show Fringe? The episode "Anamoly XB 6783746" told just how important the supposed "defects" of the anamoly are to humanity. Just sayin'.
