Patsy, I love your insightful, evocative responses.

You know, on some publications, the editors focus entirely on the nuts and bolts of proof reading, and not one word about the actual story/article and its relevance/impact on them. I really appreciate how you so often respond as one human being. to another and that is precious!

Your mother's message is exactly the way I make sense of my siblings' actions.

I think life's disappointments have got to them and twisted them into ways that are far from healthy, for themselves and their offspring.
