Erica Martinson,

I just wanted to thank you sharing your life experiences with us, your readers. I normally read The Trincoll Journal for the humor but your article caught my attention. I guess it's because I see myself as a listener like your friend Aidan. I enjoy observing, learning from and examining life. But new perspectives are hard to find. When a different view is revealed allowing me to discover additional facets of life,it is always appreciated. So thank you, to you and the entire staff of The Trincoll Journal.

Sincerely,

Eric Morey

Thank you for your kind words. It's always nice to hear when someone appreciates and connects with something you've written. And I guess occasionally we surprise ourselves, as I did with this article. Thank you again for what you said.

Erica
