Debbie, your writing here is so powerful and moving. It tore my heart, remembering caring for my mama and my dad before they died… and my own recent fears of dying. Then reading about the deer screaming—I haven’t heard that sound but I have heard a mountain lion scream—like a woman getting her throat slit. My husband, Benjamin/Bastiaan had nightmares of Vietnam and often woke up screaming. No stories, no photos, except for the ones of him and the way his eyes grew more haunted and sad. Thank you for your words.
