Dear Maddi, I've only just met you today and reading the story of your triumph in the face of disaster, the literal and figurative phoenix has this hardened military veteran about to shed tears of empathy of what you went through, and joy of what you overcame. We've not broadcasted our first pod, but feeling admiration after just had a short conversation, and a reading of just one of your many experiences, I'm honored to meet you. It's not the closeness of family that fills my heart as it does for many whom I gratified for, it's friends that fill that role for me, I celebrate each and every friend I make, and I feel like I've just made another :) Namaste! D.J.
