It took me 14 1/2 hours start to finish. The only breaks I took were for transportation, eating, and visiting the latrine. But this woman deserves such attention. I was genuinely honored to be the one to talk to Mary's family and friends, and to write just one tiny piece of her incredible life. As I was working on the story today, I thought that I wished I could have met her. Later, after I got home, I realized I felt like I actually had.
