oh Debra, you always write such provocative, thoughtful, heartfelt essays and this one is no different. Thank you for sharing all this with so many -- it stings with questions, truth, pain that come from your personal necklace/jewel box but resonate with so many. Thank you always for putting yourself out here and leading with your heart. Couldn't love you more, let's talk about this more and like one of your other ruffle friends in here, I stand with you. ❤️

Oh, Larry. It feels good to know you've had similar feelings - I guess we all do. So many shades of grey, so much pain, so much conflict... a giant oy. I like that your star has had the same journey as my mezuzah!
