Today's comment comes from Annette Dawson in response to our cover story by Joshua Swainston about Ivan the Gorilla.

Dawson writes,

This week's Volcano article on Ivan made me cry a little and I'm usually a tough nut. Just seeing the big fella brought me right back to a warm, safe and fuzzy place of my childhood when I would go to the B&I with dad and mom, when the world was a much different place. I remember watching Ivan through thick glass walls and wondering what he was thinking and would he ever be let out of his concrete jungle. Thankfully he did make it out of there. I'm grateful to have been able to have met and known Ivan. His story reminds me that those who have been through the harshest conditions and survived have the potential to transform the madness of their lives. Thanks Volcano.
