Mark,

I so loved the series. I'm a 49 year-old male living in Morrisville, PA, and I was quite literally "heaving" with emotion at the sight of your saying farewell to Gianna. It was terribly painful for me to watch your parting, as I so desperately wanted to see you adopt her and take her with you.

Please, please return to see her from time to time as your schedule permits and you are able to do so.

I know that you loved her, and the sight of your bonding was so immensely beautiful to witness. Please allow yourself, and her, the gift of sharing yet more time together before your lives have ended.

Thank you for the great gift of "Living with the Machigenga."

Sincerely,

Jim Tremblay
