Oh, thank you! I am so happy it resonated with you and sincerely hope you are not in a similar situation with a sibling ❤️

I'm not in a similar situation, but I can relate to the feelings of not being able to communicate or make bridges again. I ended up reading several of your illustrated stories and I love your way of telling about things. What a great thing to come of you commenting on my letter. I'm so glad I've found your work.

I am SO glad to hear that this was helpful to you. I was really waffly about sending it. I wrote the first draft a couple of weeks ago and had to muster the courage to say what I was thinking.

Especially the paragraph starting, "If artists only made..."

You rock. And happy birthday.
