"I was so enamored, I took you to my second grade class as my show and tell." Wes, omigosh. Wow. What a story. Hope she is okay. And hope you are too.

Thank you. I hope she is too. I am learning to be ok. I'd be curious to know what struck you about that particular line sometime.

I thought it was a powerful way to show that you really admired her and wanted to share her with your friends. I don't have an older sibling, but I imagine that feeling of admiring them is usually there, though your admiration for her is so strong that it eclipsed bringing other things (usually items? pets?) for show and tell.

This was a powerful story, Wes. Takes guts to share real stories like these. Thank you. Hope your brother is doing ok wherever he is.

thank you, brother. I felt the guts but it felt freeing as well. Yes, I agree- I hope she's doing well and hope to know where she is someday soon.
