Dear VeryWellAged,
I read your story, Sideways, with great interest, when it was released about six months ago. I did so because of what has happened to me.
I have known for a long time that your stories have more than a mere gloss of truth about them. But this time, this one, was eerily similar to my life here in the Philippines.
After the first reading of your story I brooded about it a bit, and reread it. And read it yet again. I wanted to write to you, but didn’t know exactly what to say.
In August I decided to write out my own experience. It is not easy, but you know that. In fact it’s damned hard. I don’t know if this is of any interest to you, but I enclose it as an attachment to this email. I don’t know if you care to read it. I guess it’s just something I needed to do.
Respectfully,
Herbert Lombardi
