"Here in mamalodeland we receive a lot of really amazing submissions. And sometimes one will just stop us in our tracks. They take us to another place. Totally distract us from anything else happening around us. Make us want to reach through our computers and hug the writer. To meet them. To take care of them. This is one of those stories...." -Mamalode on "Last One Standing"
"I just wanted to thank you. For writing those articles about grief and for understanding me so well when it seems nobody else does. You touched a place very deep in me and wrote things I've been feeling but haven't been able express or put into words. I also lost my husband to cancer 7 months ago. He was 31. We have a now 4 year old son together. I can't tell you how much I appreciate your writings. It's comforting to know that I'm not the only who feels these things and that it's ok. Thank you." -S.K., a reader
