Tracy, you bring me out of my lurking status to comment. This was beautiful! I love your writing. I will be pondering the personal application of the role of ‘years of questions and answers’ and the resulting impact of the Savior’s atonement with your perspective in mind. I have had recent years of questions without many obvious answers. I am slowly beginning to realize that the answers were there, I just didn’t always recognize them. Thank you for sharing your insight.

Tracy, one-note-wonders are still wonderful.

Thank you kevinf. Sometimes I wish I could write more objectively, more analytical- yet it always comes back to being intensely personal. Maybe I’m a one-note wonder…

Thank you all for your kind words.

As always, Tracy, you write with feeling and have a way of helping us to feel what it must be like to walk in your shoes.

If there were a Eugene England Personal Essay Memorial Award (and there may be, I’m not involved in AML), I would nominate you as a growing master of personal essay.

Simply beautiful.

Thank you all kindly.

Ray, this week I’ve left you speechless and made you cry! I doff my writers cap to you, and shall take the rest of the week off.
