Beautiful piece that hits close to home for me. It's true that nothing is black and white. My brother, who died of cirrhosis from drinking a few years ago, was the first one to teach me to love unconditionally. It's hard to be supportive and also protect yourself at the same time. I look forward to reading your book.
Until you pointed it out I hadn’t thought quite so pointedly how crucial siblings are. In my case it was a brother I lost, but the connection had been differently deep and natural. The hapax legomenon, the internal lingo, your twigs for keys, thank you for sharing those.
