Time is a storyteller. Snapshots of collective testimonies catalog the extension of my handshake to greet you. My eyes meeting yours, my hug embracing yours, my head nodding that I acknowledge you, and my smile to yours are the spiritual extensions of my peace, of self-survival through life's challenges. We all have them.
Perhaps you can draw from this writing me sharing with you my experience of overcoming. This testimony is also a reflection of me, of you, of us understanding and knowing who we ultimately become through them. Some of you I've finally joined on the other side of its victory, and some of you are not far behind joining in that victory too despite all the details, because what matters ultimately in the story line is you. And hopefully, we are here in this moment-between these words, these sentences, these expressions, and these pages-till its end!
