(sorry, temporarily taking this down to submit to an anthology in NZ – wish me luck! I’ve always had a dream of seeing this story written for Noah Ranui find its way into print)

I don’t know what to say, other than beautiful This is real talent, Alegra – real, real talent.
Alegra,
I loved this the first time I read it. It still resonates for me. So glad you brought it out for more people to read.
Beautiful work.

Alegra, I have read this story so many times, so many versions and each time it never fails to break my heart. You have honored Noah and his family in a very beautiful way.
Mama
Still simply and utterly beautiful.
Love-
I still want to cry when I read this and yet the hope you show at the end leaves me feeling peaceful. Noah will always be loved and this is beautiful.
