Dear Ann,
I have been absent from Medium for some time.
I've been working a lot (takes time because I haven't learned to type, I "bidigit") and in research and consultations to friends still alive that were part of the pieces of the text to help my memory, and to check if the dates and places mentioned in the text are correct. Indeed, at my age, the team of those who are still alive is losing in wash to the one of those who are gone from here. And the score keeps increasing.
So, although I see posts that are interesting, I only open them and save to read when you can; I have 5 or 6 that you published that are at the top of the waiting list.
I want to publish "Colagens e Remendos, Cerzidos à Mão já Trêmula" before I died, if not, my children and grandchildren would say "What a pity! Died without finishing his book ...".
Thank you for answering my comment.
Sweet kiss,
