WOW!!! Squirrel and AyaK, STANDING OVATION!!!!!Funny, touching, truthful, in context, well-researched, healing - it was all that and more. The end of Blowsvivor has left me with a warm feeling and a smile, and for that I can't thank you enough. And reading all the comments in the posts so far - that just adds to it. OK, sorry to be all syrupy, but really - it feels so good to feel good about this.
What a well-written, awesome episode and epilogue. And AyaK - you are super in every way. You have a lot to be proud of in yourself.
