Yes!

By CHANA PERMAN

He just got approval from the powers that be
She’s home, recovering, a successful surgery
He’s making great strides, finally breaking free
They moved into a new home, just got the key
She’s following her dreams, a hard-won victory
At long last! Clarity — an epiphany
Every day, every hour, dreams become reality
May all heartfelt prayers be answered:
For you and for me.
