Neera, our life paths are different and yet there are so many similarities, it's amazing. Great that you've never given up on yourself, even after critics crushing your spirit, and at the same time you were willing to listen to the voice of wisdom that was different from what you'd be personally inclined to.
I probably do both, for instance at times I will say husband not Les, probably should use both when naming him. I think naming someone makes it more personal, and particularly when writing about your life I think that is important unless that person doesn’t want to be identified, which I think in both our cases that would be rare. I still relate to whoever you are talking about named or not, so yes, still easy to follow. 🤗
What brave decisions you made during your early life, and I’m glad I wasn’t there when you were gutting those mice, I’m not so great with blood and gore. You definitely deserve any accolades you received, and to be published in those journals is pretty special. I am guessing that this boy you will be meeting is now your husband? Well I will find out next week, I don’t want to know now, it would be a bit like knowing the sex of your child before it is born.

I admire your courage in making decisions that were not intuitively obvious but supported your beliefs.
