oh my god this is a gut wrench. when I find myself writing horrible things and horrible deeds I wonder where that comes from because my life has hardy ever been anything but easy. so when you read something as alive as this with hurt that rings true like those buddhist bowls where the sound goes on and on i am just wondering and hoping you didnt go through that hurt in order to write it like this... but the maybe you simply had to, to write it.
The version my daughter got was, "I have terrible news. You're gonna have to get used to chopped liver jokes because Mom is going on the transplant list."
I don't actually know if I'm going on the list. Given my age and the severity, we're optimistic.
Without an organ donation, I have less than five years.
I was describing your work to someone the other day and I used the phrase “pure, raw fucking VOICE,” and every time I read more of your work, that continues to be the first thing I think of. Your voice is pure and raw and powerful as all get out. Infinite hat tips.
Fucking amazing. Jesus fucking Christ. This is such a complete piece. Beautiful.
Thank @EdithBow I dug it out of thee trash for her

It's the harder hitting version of the truth.

I am choosing to stay optimistic.
