My prayers for Bowie and for your strength.

I thought this was excellent. I learned from your White Soldiers analogy. Your writing was engaging from start to finish, although I kept wondering how the sparrow imagery would work itself into the story. The message at the end is poignant and memorable. Well done.

Bowie sounds like a courageous little guy. Your story runs the gamut of emotions - hope, courage, pain, and fear. It also approaches autoimmune diseases in a way that encourages research and action. Thank you.

I am a nurse and a Hashimoto's Thyroiditis patient (autoimmune disorder, yep). I'm also a new writer. Thank you for writing this so well.
