Oh sweetie, that must have been awful, everything, the broken foot, everything. Can we talk about it? Just let me, you don't have to read if you don't want to. The way your foot was broken, okay, it must've been twisted, your leg or something, and children's bones don't break as easily as adults, so man, that must have hurt so badly. Didn't you pass out? I think I would have. I remember breaking my toe as an adult, I remember how much that hurt.
In a big way I get that your family was worse than mine. Because your family wasn't even together, but mine was at least that. We took family trips all the time, lots of weekends spent roaming far and wide. Fishing trips, all that stuff. My dad took a special interest in taking me, I think he understood something about my artistic nature, I think he has it too. But his temper... man. I don't know if I ever wished him dead, but I do know my life was better when he wasn't around. Sometimes it was okay. But it was always tense.
I feel so badly for you, not even having that much. I understand your brother being so close and important to you, because my siblings were the ones also who were bearing the torture with me, we were needed each other's comfort in that, but in the end we learned not even to give much of that. How old were you when you lost your brother? That's terrible, it's horrible.
