Maureen, It takes great skill to paint a thousand pictures of such deep emotions and pain in two lines of such few words. Thank God for your life. Sandison.

I hit two cars, on a bike for the first, came to a week later in hospital, in traction (my poem Ham). Broke much of my left side. 23yrs later just getting a handle on the brain injury. A life changing moment of distraction. Thank you Agnes <3 xomo
