Well I guess statistics are such that I would sooner
or later meet someone like you. With all the strong
emotion flying back and forth about this most touchy
of subjects, I am not sure whether I should give you
my condolences or congratulations. But either way
thank you for sharing. Aside from your simple
narrative of what happened, I am somewhat curious how
you felt about it? And do you feel differently about
it now then you did then?
