They were two sides of the same coin. For years, I held my mom's self-imposed amnesia against her not realizing that my uncle's dedication to memory likely hastened his death
This piece is both poignant & thought provoking. It makes me think about the roles people play in families. Perhaps your role, as a writer, will help synthesize the forgetting & the remembering in a healthy way.
Even from this short excerpt, I feel like I know your uncle well. And I relate to him. You’ve brought him to life on the page.

We tend to find each other. I think it’s because we’re so willing to be vulnerable in this world.
I think you are right
Thank you, Leanne!
