So this morning, I woke up crying to myself about my sister, how she’s spent a lifetime taking what’s hers and what’s mine. I woke up frustrated that my kid has fucked up the period key on my keyboard and so writing is even more of a challenge.

It finally happened. Tessa S. has commented. Twice!

My latest article has attracted the attention of the great and mysterious Tessa S., a long time Medium writer and reader. She seemed to like my piece…. I think?
