Dear Anita,

 I am sorry for you, your  sister, for me, my sister and for so many others 

I felt tenderness when I read this.  No one Anita, no one has ever said this to me – in a way that was meaningful.  Sure you hear the “oh thats so sad” “oh wow thats crazy.”

but a true sorry – you are right.  I am sorry, I never allow myself to be “felt sorry for.” But yes, it is a sad sorry situation, it IS.

So yes, what more to do than calm the frenzy, and have patience for our own selves.

listen to our hearts.
