I always think of your sister when I think of you, Darren. I know the pain of loss; pain that is always present. I'd like to blame a devil, but sometimes I didn't do the best I could. Sometimes I was selfish and neglectful of my children. Facing this is allowing me to forgive my parents who also did not always do the best they could. I'm convinced at this point the most effective force for change is to look the monster in the face, or in the mirror, and truly see it and offer loving forgiveness.
This is such a well-written piece. Your father's poor judgement in taking you to the Exorcist mirroring his inability to protect you and your sister as you grew older - very sad. You have broken that cycle and are now offering assistance to those who need it.

Many thanks to you for this.
May your sister rest in peaceful among the angels who watch over her. ✨💖✨
