This message means so much to me, Ali. Thank you for reading. I know it's a long intro, but there's a lot to tell as you saw for yourself.

I am amazed we have so much in common! No one quite understands the estrangement stuff until they've been through it or are close to it. Happy to have found a friend who understands not just that part of my story, but many others as well.

I look forward to getting to know you more, Ali! <3
