“But love doesn’t listen to reason…” that is what I’m taking with me. So beautifully written.

Written like a fine song… the words very quietly sang out to me. Stay strong and keep being there for your loved ones, always.

You have me in tears... both happy and sad because you write with your heart and you create visuals for your readers. Amazingly beautiful work. Continue to dance ... even when your feet get tired.

Beautiful! I "felt" every nuance of everything you felt. This, family, is EVERYTHING! Cherish it!❤️

Thanks for sharing Don! That was beautiful. I actually was allowed to visualize your arrival and departure from visiting your family. It was beautiful as your heart is ...You're Golden. ❤️

This was a beautiful glimpse of love on a day that like so many since November 2024 is dark despite the sun shining on my face. Thank you for doing these, giving those of us who are scared of what's ahead, but fighting through it.

This is great, the way Substack removes the fourth wall is one of my favorite parts of being here. And it’s really exciting to see Mr. L settling in, and doubtless as charming as Jim Acosta and Duke. Look forward to involvement and support. Best from NoCal!
