A beautifully written piece that is both tragic and hopeful.   The power of love and the profound sadness of loss of all kinds.

Devastating, insightful,  beautiful.
The complexities of family dynamics and the pain of life and love.
I appreciated how there was never any moral preaching or blame specifically directed at the drug-addicted daughter; who she is was accepted, despite the devastation it wrought. A lot to sit with.
