This story haunted me to the degree that I couldn't comment earlier. I had saved it to read again and...I just did. The phone calls with your dying brother are so recognizable to me that it was as if you were writing my story.

But it is the gentle push on your back that keeps running through my head. That push to begin. That push that keeps you going on this project.

That is a gift, Ann, and I realize you know it.

That push could be used by me, too, and that image just may be the ticket.

Thanks, once again, for sharing.
