It is all about knowing how to dress those wounds, isn't it? Thank you for putting that into such perfect words. You are amazing-your writing and your grace give me hope. Thank you.

Gorgeous, Zoe. I hope you keep writing about the time in between because, at least to me, that's exactly where the heart of the story lies. Congrats on two years. It just keeps getting better from here.

Thank you for sharing this intimate expression of all you have wrestled with and accepted over the past ten years, Zoe. Yes, it feels like “so far away” and yet no time at all… but this succinct and deliberate piece is such an accomplishment, every line courageous and honest, yet steeped in love. Kudos on all your hard work to become such a powerful (and joyfully sober) writer. You are soooo brave and your generous work gives others solace and hope. Your dear dad would be (is) so freaking proud!
