Yeah, it happened like that.

Everything published in this blog is true. To me, the important aspect of these stories are the moral and relational issues they grapple with. What happened to exactly whom and in exactly what place matters far less than what they felt and what I felt as the thing was happening.

So, I substitute names and swap true details and circumstances from one story to another. I do so to protect the privacy of people and institutions I love. But the essence is true and the stuff actually happened.
