I will always remember how kind and supportive you were to me when I wrote to you about my poems. You encouraged me just when I was ready to give up on writing poetry. That is surely worth some karma points for you (not to mention pink cake and streamers). Your poem “April in Middle Age” is spectacular — everyone should read it. Continue to fight — the world needs you and your beautiful words. No one sees the world as you do.
