Family

This weekend, my uncle passed away.

I'm sad, but there's a strange comfort about being here at NPH. Being in the presence of my kids, of kids who have lost so much more than I have at a far younger age than anyone should, has calmed me. I feel far from alone.

I realized that I have become part of another family. And as long as I'm with my second family, the grief is bearable and loneliness a long way off.
