I really love your writing and the journey it takes me on. Sometimes pretty and other times difficult, but it always takes me somewhere I need to go. Where has our empathy gone? I guess it’s too easy to blame Trump and Covid. Maybe Thatcher?

Oh my goodness, what a story! And so brilliantly told. I laughed at the end about the sign on her back. The intricacies of human relationships are all here - even on a bus in London we can't seem to get along! Yikes. I love the support you gave. I hope she writes to the newspaper. You did a great thing in getting her story down here - it's really important.

The not-so-visible disabilities are hard. My son is on the autism spectrum. He doesn't need physical accommodations, but once you talk to him, you know that something is up. The cognoscenti recognize neurodiversity. Then people are either nice, and patient... or not.
