Ioana, I love what you’ve done here. I read this story yesterday and didn't have time to respond, yet thought about what you wrote, and it still reverberates in my feeble brain. I love how you’ve been able to point your finger inward, exposing your own judgement and blame (if you will) of people for their mistreatment of you. I’m happy you are seeing yourself in a different, better light. Its refreshing to read your uplifting message between the lines of this wonderful story. I read almost all of your stories (not a big poem guy, my bad) and sense a new you emerging! Congratulations!
