What memories and questions Greg. A searing piece about relentless pain in the 'others'... so far and yet so close to our cushy lives...

Your memories must be a kind of torture for you & I appreciate you unzipping your heart to lay them bare for your readers. It reminds me to continue to be consciously grateful for all my smallest blessings every day.

Thank you for this illuminating piece. Every day…grateful for a warm, secure place to sleep and wake. And to take a shower…warm water and clean clothes.
