Uncomfortably cold in Journal
It’s upsetting that C. has taken partial residence in my mind again. Vlad made a reappearance too. It must be that time of year when alcoholic abusers need attention. Liz and I have been channeli...
The Return in Journal
I didn’t meet with C.’s wife before my trip to Portland because the pain was too raw for her. We exchanged a few messages - both of us supportive and kind. During a last-minute appointment my the...
