Always...

My dear editor...You encourage me, you see past my confusion, I trust you. Thank you.

I cried on this one too. I don't know why. There is some sense of

dread and loss with the elections that my sorrow which will probably last a lifetime of super mileage, is also a great relief that my daughter and her daughter are safe in Portugal. I never saw this coming.

I want you to know that for about 6 years I have struggled with some cognitive deficits, including memory and organization. Please don't think I'm blowing off your edits. I keep a notebook, but I'm in the midst of dealing with some worsening and diagnostic process won't end till Dec.Im not walking into walls, but I so value you as my editor, that I want you to know about my screwups. thanks again mmm
