After the break, another soulful story.

Be back in a moment.

Welcome back.

We've got another story about soul for you.

This one focusing on being there.

Ashley McElvey told this at an Atlanta Story Slam where the theme of the night was big breaks.

Here's Ashley live at the Moth.

That was Ashley McElvey.

Ashley has always loved a good story.

She lives in Atlanta, where she has performed at the Moth and Story Collider.

She and Eric recently celebrated their fourth wedding anniversary, and her parents are happy and healthy in Arkansas.

If you'd like to see a photo of Ashley's wedding, we'll have a couple of lovely pictures on our website at themoth.org slash extras.

That brings us to the end of our episode.

Thank you to our storytellers for sharing with us and to you for listening.

At The Moth, we think that every story has soul.

And if you've been moved by a story this year, we'd love your support.

It makes everything possible.
