I read this a few hours ago, Marce, and it sent me off down a rabbit hole, and out came a story! Your writing did that! Your writing has power. You have such a wonderful gift of laying yourself bare in a way that we can't help but love you and want to come along with you - wherever the story takes us. And we'll be on your side. Always.

PS: I think you and your daughter look really beautiful in that 1991 photo.
