Imagine you experiencing something so horrendous, so unfathomable that your life becomes like shattered pieces...Just as ink blots paper, our brain blocks memories... a last attempt at self-preservation... as survival...Being the sole survivor can be a testament to that determination or even be seen as good fortune... We wish. The reality is those pieces are never brought together as they were... But with tenderness and a community coming together, it can be made into something new...Cracks glued and forever visible...However... What happens when this isn't the case? After all... Family is Everything.
