Signing Hands Across The Water 
Hi Juan. Do you remember me, Madeline? I was your neighbor on Randolph Ave in JC. I loved your poem, especially how expressive you are! You taught my son Liam some signs because he is autistic and can’t speak. I want you you to know he is still signing an doing so well! He remembered the signs you taught him and has learned many more. Thank you so much! We think of you fondly and often. We hope you are well! We hope to see you again someday! Thank you for helping my son communicate, what a precious gift! Best, Madeline
