Wow, Abbie!
What a wonderful up close 'n' personal story of how things went "down"!
Thank you so much for writing that. I enjoyed reading it - even got goosebumps! ... the good kind of goosebumps - the kind you get when "infected" by emotionally charged writing!
I have never been to Berlin but you make a person want to. Perhaps i shall someday. I hope you manage a visit again someday.
And i hope you are doing well right now.
