Thank you Sky for sharing this part of yourself. As a mum who has experienced child loss, and gone on to have more children this post acts as a continued reminder that my grief for my firstborn was birthed from a great and powerful love that i possessed for him, and I want his siblings to receive a double portion of it. I am so sorry that your childhood experience wasn't what you fully deserved, and i extend my fierce love to you and wrap it around your grief❤️
Mothers have so much expected of them, I can only imagine what you and mine experienced. You are super humans. Thank you so much for sharing a little piece of your story, and for the love. I cherish both. Sending you so much love and tenderness in return. Thank you.
You are a gifted writer. Thank you for this. Grief is so hard. I think most of us are in a state of grieving for our nation. I appreciate your story and I am sorry for your loss. Reach out if you want to talk about it. I have had much grieving in my life. It’s enduring.
One more thing. I believe all our lives (however short) are purposeful. Without your brother’s death, you would be unlikely to have developed such wisdom so young. So his legacy is you, and he lives through you: a clear strong voice so necessary in this time of madness.
Beautiful and articulate. I couldn’t agree more re your thoughts on Trump and how he loves being hated as much as he loves being adored. It is attention, and that is power. I too lost a brother - though at 17, so had the pleasure (and doubled-down grief, after loss) of knowing him. It’s a joy to connect with such youthful wisdom as yours.
Incredible writing-so sorry about your brother, I know it is never the same when you lose someone, but I hope your writing brings some sort of healing. ❤️
I don't usually leave comments on stuff, but this was so beautiful. Gave me a good-natured smack on the head. Thank you.
Happy to be of service ;). Thank you for reading!

I agree with you completely. Thank you for taking the time to read and respond. May we all get a little braver and a little stronger at the enduring.
Reading this made me feel calm for the first time in…..I don’t know. Thank you.

I'm not great with words and rarely have much to add, but while reading a song would not stop playing in my head.
I resonated with this song since I was 9yo. I wanted to share: Happy Birthday - Flipsyde
