It’s so hard to choose words as a parent. You think that when the moment comes to explain something difficult, you will know what to say, but it always feels like skydiving, a great trusting leap into the unknown as the words tumble out.
I could never bring myself to lie to my sons. My mother said I was telling them too much, that they couldn't possibly understand. I told her that they wouldn't understand a lie any better. After all, if you can't depend on your parents for the truth, who can you trust? I continue to pray for your family, yes all of you. It is little enough to do, but all I can offer. You are doing a great job!! Don't ever doubt that. Love to all, your distant cousin.
We have been thinking about Rio on his birthday (what happened to old-fashioned birthday cards?) l remember as a child -- long after I had overcome the fear of monsters -- the Dread of the unknown future ❤️

Such eloquence about the most intimate and personal. Beautiful Pacifica.
