Dennett, you are a wonderful, kind and talented person. So glad that you made in through that scary hospital stay. So glad that you pulled through and are back to posting.
I am SO honoured to have been mentioned in "the three".
I am horrified that none of your "real life" friends and co-workers took the trouble to reach out. That seems so harsh and unfeeling.
It is interesting to me that over the years, I have formed strong bonds of friendship with online contacts that I rarely meet in person. First through a cool music site called Acid Planet and now through Medium.
Stay safe and well. ;-)
