Hi, Ica! Thanks for reading and leaving a comment. My story was intended to disturb. To raise the spirits. So reading all these comments means that I fulfilled my objective. The story still holds true.

As I responded earlier, to another reader (S.R.), I speak from where I’m standing, and only related to me. I’m not implying that people that decided to leave are quitters or stupid — that’s for them to decide/interpret based on their own history. This story was about me — if people relate to it, I’m glad, if they don’t again — no problem.

Have a fantastic year!
