I remember your brother's passing. So soon after your mother! I think, now, that I knew about her passing too. I'm so sorry. Those are two very tough losses for you.

I can't look at pictures, or art and school work. I break down and lose the ability to breathe, gasp for air. Awful. Your poor parents. All of you! How are your sisters handling life? You seem very stable, kind, thoughful and productive. I always love your freewrites, but those you write about your family tend to pull the floor out from under me. The trauma runs deep. xo
