Thank you so much for sharing the story about Lio and the baby. As one who doesn't watch the news (I get information on line from a variety of sources, including you), I had missed it! Quite profound!

What a beautiful person Lio is. As a swimmer and having been in ice cold water which can take your life, I cannot believe he was able to hold on. Thank you so much for sharing his bravery!

Tears, but happy ones, I hope as he goes through life that this buoys him up many times, as I am sure it will, a nod to you also as it is so touchingly written.

Thank you for sharing the story of Lio and the baby! Just what I needed on this weekend of global tension and the news of dead schoolchildren in Iran. I hope baby and Lio both go on to enjoy very cool lives.

Our species’ DNA was his guide vs the pointless murder of school children.
