I’m not much of a blogger. My generation grew up with email and have been slow to adopt the new forms of electronic communication. But I am so grateful to this community, its founders and ‘old-timers’, and all of you that daily support and inform members of this site, that I think it’s about time I start to tell my own story. There is something very important about telling our stories to each other, knowing there are listeners who have been through their own ordeals and understand.
