So glad to hear she's doing well after the surgery, Fred! Hang in there. It's tough dealing with life and life threatening events all the time. Your hair loss is miniscule compared to mine so think positively!

Regards,

Neil

Lot of alcoholism in my family too. Could relate to everything you wrote. I too am sober 3 years. God bless your sister, her family and you.

I'm sure your closeness is helping her health in ways you may never even know. Love helps everything, even contemplating evolving out of your container. I like the buddhist take. The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying, (not the one by Thurman.)Pema chodron is my favorite. "When Things Fall Apart". Read any few pages if so inclined. If you can get Turkey Tail, reishi, chaga and or lions mane mushrooms they are awesome healers. Paul Stamets' catalogue. You are a good human and a helluvan artist.

Most touching and poignant Fred. The fact that you could open up about your feelings and express them so well speaks highly of the man you are. So glad for your sister am praying for her full and complete recovery.

And your portrait work is without peer! I thank you so much!
