It may seem like an odd thing, but you make me want to reach out and love you even more. I've lived next to this long enough to know, that I couldn't fix it, or make it leave you alone, but I also know that you are "real" everything; writer, woman, humorist, human and that none of what you are living with makes you any less. You have a family here that loves you, and we need you. Preeti Ramachandran is a very important and beautiful person, to me, and to us all.
