It made me say "Oh" with a spark of realization when you mention that grotesque tree in your bedroom might have been a call for help. That makes sense now, however, I didn't see how detrimental your drinking was at the time, nor did I understand why someone would be so devoid of hope. Note to self for when I see such things in art. I remember trying to talk you out of the negativity in the painting, but I failed. Probably some deep listening to what was going on for you, not always my forte, would have been more beneficial.

They reality is, I wasn't ready to see myself. You showed up for more than I should have expected, or could have hoped. And I am grateful.
