"i love you. i love you. i love you."
i kept repeating it
as though
if i could just get you to hear me once
maybe you could find the will to fight back

"i love you brother. please stay safe."
if nothing else please stay safe.
for me.
stay safe.
i love you.



but you could not hear me.
Spoke with my brother who relapsed after being sober for 4 years. Trying to reach out or “save” a loved one can cause so much heartache. By far the hardest conversation I’ve ever had
