I'm glad people's personal stories help. They help me a whole lot, too.
I thank people who share events and experiences from their lives. Now, it usually takes a fair amount of effort for me to share something from my life, sometimes it takes enormous emotional energy because I'm reliving the event to some extent. I kind of have to gear up to do it largely on my own schedule.
So, people, yes
, we do appreciate stories from your lives and we do, at least to some extent, realize the contribution this represents.
