Dear Michelle,
This was an amazing story, and an inspiring one. Have you considered submitting it to something like "Reader's Digest" or a "Chicken Soup for the Soul" or creating a book of such stories. Michelle, it was so well-written. I wish a million people could see it. I wish the U.S. made it required reading for every person. I can especially relate because the topic is fresh for me personally plus I am a clinical social worker who worked in hospitals for years. Perhaps we could work on a compilation together. Keep on with your writing!
