Totally legitimate. That's the beauty of a varying point of view. I actually read it several times and missed all that, but that doesn't make either of us wrong, rather, how we hear and see. I suppose how we're feeling any particular day sets us up for that as well. One of my commenters circled back and said she was very down at the end of it- I guess she and I were the same state of mind. I genuinely appreciate your different take and I will take it into consideration. I will say this, the story sure brought up some important issues in me, and based on some of the comments I'm getting on my aging well articles, people are most certainly thinking about aging now after a year without being able to live fully on their own terms. I have a feeling that more than a few uglies came out of the basement for a few folks. Many thanks for your thoughtful take on both pieces.
