Hello again Naima ... this is Fred with the promised read and comment on your 'stuff'.
You've tackled a difficult topic in this, ... one of your first ventures into Medium writing, but you have created quite a bit of interest if the comments you've received are any indication.
The only additional comment from me relates to one of your reply comments to another reader when you said: "He is a brave man, even if he is old".
As an 83 year-old myself, I would caution you on taking such an out-dated attitude to older folk.
Old folk are not invisible! They are as 'alive' as you.
Don't take this too seriously Naima ... I do understand really. I'm just having a bit of fun with you.
Keep up your good and inspirational thinking and writing.
😅 😅 😅
Fred
