OMJ - the power in sharing never fails to amaze me. (hey, we'd better let Meron know that John has moved up a notch and as a result, OMG is a bit "yesterday"!!! :)

One of the first things I said to Linda when I called was how wonderfully courageous I thought she had been by writing such a raw and honest post because it is exactly such frank disclosures (made by a number of prominent Australians over the past decade) that has opened the way for much greater public dialogue, information sharing and increased understanding and awareness in Australia.

And then I read Cynthia and Evvy's posts when I woke this morning - and sobbed through both of them. (Evvy I am so sorry that you have lost your Mary - so very sorry - she sounded like one in a million.)

It felt like the three of you were holding hands across the miles in a way that made you all seem even more beautiful, strong and brave than usual.

Beautiful.
