  1. Gripping. Tragic. Sorrowful. So well done, Lisa. The formatting of this piece serves to emphasize the emotion; highlights the implications.

    Note: Thank you. I am so appreciative of your weekly participation in SSS; everyone’s participation. So much is offered through our writings. I love the community we are building.
