Thought it may have been a self-portrait. You make eye patch look so very cool.
Always glad to read your posting, to know you are there.
My daughter has rage. Her seizures define, challenge, limit and badly distort her. I had to escape the house for 3 nights and leave her with an angel of a caregiver. Home now.
My friend Susan is an extraordinary artist. Take a look at her website to see her other work. I'm so sorry to hear of your daughter's rages. That must be intense and beyond difficult to cope with.
Gorgeous pirate that you are. And generous in your willingness to let us into the realm of Elizabeth, in all your truths. No fictions are as good as this life. But haven't we read chapters of this book before? Hoping Rebecca Solnit's words about the future not being pre-ordained bears fruit, but we know, we still need to work like hell to keep us on the arc that bends toward justice.
"I’m beginning to figure it out and I think it’s loneliness and loss and a lawsuit and money and betrayal, a lack of acknowledgement a lifetime motherhood patriarchy, weirdness the dumb call for unity, anger simmering the parsing of acceptance and resignation in caregiving."
Yes, it's all of it. I'm glad your friend made you laugh, it's good for the soul. Sending hugs.
yes, "the world is weird". Hang on, we are all with you for the ride.

Definitely -- thanks for your wise and thoughtful comment and all your support, Suzanne.
Love, love Pirate Elizabeth. May your seas smooth soon and your sailing be easier.
I love you back!

Sending hugs right back at you. One of these days, we're going to meet one another in real life and not let go.
