Dear Reader,
It's part of the Dear Reader Column magic. I write a column and readers write a column back to me. My mailbox was flooded with replies from last week's column about the big moments. If you missed the column you'll find it at:

Here's what some readers had to say. From my Email Bag:
"Good Morning Suzanne - I must confess I enjoy your comments more than most of the book excerpts, though they are quite good as well. Today's comments struck a very familiar nerve. After 38 plus years of marriage, my wife and I talk at least once a day during the work hours and if out of the area travel is involved, probably twice a day. Unfortunately, marriage commitment is downgraded in today's society and frankly people are missing a true blessing by not working through things... My wife and I continue to be challenged by kids and grandkids and love all of it, but mostly we love being able to take time to share between just us and how we're doing. That sounds like what you and your husband share. Isn't it great?! As you say, 'thanks for reading'." -- Jim G.
"Suzanne, I cried as I read your message today. I lost my best friend, my hero, my love just three years ago. We also had to be in touch, even when we were apart, but most of all I miss the laughter we shared. We so enjoyed finding the humor in everything and trying to top each other's comments and descriptions. How our house rang with the sound! And every time we drove out the road from our home on the edge of the Great Smokies, we would look around and say, 'We live in the mountains!!' How we loved it here. It isn't the same now. Hold on to your love, dear girl....hold on tight as long as you can." -- Pat H.
Thanks for reading with me. It's so good to read with friends.
