I was camp friends with Simi. She was a wonderful person and so matter of fact about her challenges.
Yes, unfortunately she passed a way a couple of years ago

I dunno. Something about the way she wrote about her was so sad. Does anyone know them IRL? There are suprisingly a lot of identifying details.

Yes, like all of KJ knows them (of old timers kj)

Ok, so I guess not everyone knows them lol! But whoever I spoke to was either a classmate of mom, a neighbor or just knew/know of them some way or the other.

I live in williamsburg but remember Chany from camp!

She was nothing less as she tells about herself in the serial.

Never in my lifetime would I have guessed her background.

Shoutout to Chany,

You are the most amazing person I've ever met! I'm not adding any spoiler alerts here, but Chany, may Hashem strengthen you every day to continue being a great person!

In last week's installment, the way she talks about her daughter Simi in the past tense... Did she die?

Yes. Unfortunately. So sad.

This serial really captured my heart. I know the family vaguely having seen Simi spending time in Freidwald hospice. It's painful and also Chana with her subsequent challenges (not going to spoil) I cry for them.

I’m sitting here in Lakewood and I do not know anyone in the story.
It’s so interesting that people know who they are irl!
Please let me read it week by week and don’t give anything away… I know it’s someone’s life but I’m reading this and enjoying it as a story. Can there not be any more spoilers?

Actually I do know someone. I met the author once. She is doing an incredible job!

No, it is someone's real life story being shared for the first time. Being that the pratoganist of the story is quite popular in her circles, many readers know the story.
