@Phillygrrl My heart leapt! (Then sank a little) but I’m so glad she will still have you as a loving and devoted mother. There are several women I consider mothers and I am so grateful for the different gifts they have given me.

@jlfreeman6 @amasonny I appreciate your work so much— especially the opportunities you and your peers create for the rest of us to hear Uyghur language spoken by its authors and poets!
