Thank you, Kind Padre, with all my heart, for your gracious *seeing*. I debated about using photos that included me, but those moments captured with my dad, mom, and older sister hold so much; of them, and of my strength and resilience in light of some pretty traumatic life stuff that was in progress when those photos were taken. I dearly love my family of origin, but it was a shit show most of the time. My surviving that is worth honoring as well. I am thankful for the Unfailing Love which I believe tenderly received them, healed them, and set them entirely free. Perhaps the greatest gift they have left me is the desire to be free before I leave my body behind, and to leave more joyful memories than painful ones for my children. I love and appreciate you and Denise so much, Dear Brother! Every Soulful Blessing to you both!
