Dear Anonymous,
She's not much for wanting to be photographed. But today she is. It's her one year anniversary of her housing in Portland.
We reminisce about life prior to that. The bitter cold. The tears. The carrying pounds and pounds of stuff in a pack, schlepping through the slush.
Mostly, I remember how miserable she was. Understandably so. Housing has been a good thing for her and I celebrate her achievement ( it has not all been easy ) and her ability to adapt to the changes/rules/regulations surrounding her housing. Something some cannot tolerate.
She has been able to navigate it.
No small achievement.
And for those that know Mike, she is his partner.
