The Mystery of the Missing Letter R

To all R-less or R-included women (and a few men), inclusive of me, who will relate to these stories. Some will probably think "This is my story." Others will chuckle if they have healed from their own transition from Mrs. to Ms. or vice versa. There are those who will shed a few silent tears or painful sobs. Whatever the response, it will be due to their experiences with the mystery of the missing letter R!
