Appreciate you and your sharing your story - open, honest, raw and vulnerable. When I came to the end of this piece and saw the name John Julius Norwich it was inevitable Julian of Norwich came to mind - or Juliana whichever you prefer. Julian of Norwich (1342-c. 1416) is known to us almost only through her book, "The Revelations of Divine Love," which is widely acknowledged as one of the great classics of the spiritual life. She is thought to have been the first woman to write a book in English which has survived. The BBC did a documentary: https://www.janinaramirez.co.uk/julian-of-norwich-doc
Kristin, I can only imagine how awkward that must have been to finish that documentary but as the old saying goes, one door closes and another one opens. Already looking forward to the next Frame. - Jim

How interesting!I I was not aware of her. I will have to check out the BBC doc.

How interesting! I was not aware of him. (Is there an echo in here?) Just kidding, what a guy, JJN! Eager to see your next installment. Thanks!
What a story!

It had its moments, that's for sure, Jim!
It will take me awhile to find that next open door. Thanks for sticking with me!
