Hi Jane,

A beautiful poem. Truly poignant and heart-breaking, but at the same time triumphant.

Maybe unseen then. Definitely visible now !! You ARE the real deal 😊

[Jane Deegan]

Thanks, Ken. I always was :)

[Deegs]

Proud of you.... braver than me! ❤️

[Jane Deegan]

Thanks. One of my most difficult posts and time to remember.

Of course she was! (always a writer). I relate deeply. Great to see you shining!

Thanks so much, Christina. I appreciate you taking the time to comment and being here.

I see you. Clear as the mirror on your face

[Jane Deegan]

Thank you! That skinny, scared, misunderstood child is still surfaces sometimes. I'm trying not to forget her and make peace with her.

[Jennifer Ward Dudley]

I said. Mirror image. Time. It’ll take more to shed the wounds. Have a good old fashioned battle with her.

[Jane Deegan]

Thanks, Jennifer.
