        I’m so happy she got out of that situation and that she had Esther by her side. I pray for her and all those in similar situations. Shout out to all the Esthers of the world. ❤️❤️❤️

        Isn't it? I love reading these stories. There's still hope for humanity. 🙂 It takes one kind gesture to make a difference in someone's life.

        Hi Brandon, I‘ve been experimenting on ways to display short essays & stories on a phone. I guess that’s my quarantine story. I‘ve found that having two columns helps & Pages (F Helvetica New FS 15 LS 1,5) now has dark mode which makes it easier to read. So far, this is the look.pic.twitter.com/sUXLdFsWEk

        I wish I could meet this woman. I would like to make her a pot of her favorite tea & serve her delicious cookies.
