I just read these wonderful comments again and again - I am working on a novel about Kaitlin - well actually a third incarnation of a novel about Kaitlin. The poems come more easily and this little girl who appeared to me during a PAD challenge years ago - will not be ignored. I cannot thank you enough for you encouragement. I think all of you know how deeply needed such support can be and how deeply it moves me to feel that Kaitlin reaches out to you as she does to me. You inspire me to continue. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. <br />Dr. Pearl Ketover Prilik (PKP)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15506538737806033824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1819558801520044413.post-22489435387466877172013-07-10T04:28:25.512-07:002013-07-10T04:28:25.512-07:00My friend, your Kaitlin pieces are as riveting now...My friend, your Kaitlin pieces are as riveting now as they were when you first introduced her.
