Your use of metaphor in this essay is so on target that I can't imagine it being told any other way. You are a wonderful writer. I started with part three and was compelled to go back and rear parts one and two. That rarely happens. I'm so very sorry for what you're going through and wish you and your big sis all the best no matter how the story ends.Jaynehttp://injaynesworld.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738464753043442833.post-2475984319621942992011-09-30T17:28:32.966-04:002011-09-30T17:28:32.966-04:00Hugs you.

But it made her crazy as a loon; and I was the designated loon wrangler. When after 6 weeks I couldn't take it anymore and needed help the Dr. admitted her for observation. He really hadn't believed me as to just how nutso she'd become. <br /><br />They found her walking buck naked in the halls.<br /><br />It was occasionally funny; but mostly frustrating and totally exhausting.Bodaciousboomerhttp://Bodaciousboomer.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738464753043442833.post-21546363046001799852011-09-30T14:06:45.252-04:002011-09-30T14:06:45.252-04:00Such a heart wrenching yet beautifully written tal...Such a heart wrenching yet beautifully written tale of heartache and love.
