Read her letter, and the rest

When you're in the middle of a life-changing diagnosis, you go looking for someone who gets it. Someone who's been where you are.

If you're through it, you're the person someone is looking for tonight. You've answered "they were just diagnosed, what do I do" more times than you can count — you could write it down once, here.

You're not the first to walk this road. And you don't have to walk it alone.

Kindling is a place to pass something on.

You don't have to write your whole story. One honest sentence is enough.

Leave something you wish someone had told you, or something you just need to say. Come back and leave another whenever you want.
