Thanks Lee, lovely reminder of the beauty of other peoples lives. I’ve spent a bit of time in an aged care setting lately and am often struck by how much life people have lived, that I’ll never know about. Special to be able to honour that with writing.

Yes everyone has stories to tell. Be wonderful if more people captured them x

Brilliant. Loved this, and your memoir. It sure was a tricky time back in those times. And I recognise the benefits of writing some of my own life experiences. Thank you.

I love what you do Lee. I think the word is sonder that expresses this :

The profound feeling of realizing that everyone, including strangers passing in the street, has a life as complex as one's own, which they are constantly living despite one's personal lack of awareness of it’

and you have brought some of these lives to light.

Sonder on! ❀️
