Adrian - Thank you for bringing this story to light - beautifully written.

I am not sure whether it is a tragic or wonderful story - I sense it is both, depending upon the reader's perspective. You made me feel both joy and sadness! While I am sad for Emily and Diego for the tragic and absolutely unnecessary situation they find themselves in, I am also heartened and uplifted at their commitment to each other, and their collective commitment to their son, and sense the three of them will find happiness and peace whenever and wherever they will be together. So, while I was reading it, I was angry for how they have been treated, however, felt so happy for them that they found each other in this life, and clearly love each other unconditionally. Not everyone has the opportunity to experience unconditional love - so glad Emily and Diego have found it in each other. I will be rooting for them. May they find and live in peace and prosperity.

Also, wondering how JVL will react to this story, following on his The Triad newsletter yesterday telling the story of Ming Li Hui and Kennett, MO. You touch on some of the same issue JVL did when you referenced some of Emily's friends who were Trump backers. I sense an additional post by JVL may be needed, this time on Knoxville.

Thank you, again, for such a great story!
