Arpad, this is so beautiful, so poignant - thank you for sharing this part of your journey. Such a lot of love in these words, love and loss and longing - and healing, too.

Families can sure be messy. I know that one all too well.

I'm so glad you've created a family that has a lot of love in it. It's always such a joy for me to read about it and get glimpses into what I'd always hoped I'd find.
