In the midst of the whirlwind of loss we have experienced this year, there has been practically no time to grieve. The year started insane and seems to show no signs of slowing in that regard.

Thankfully, the disaster that my brother left behind will not be ours to deal with. There was no estate planning done so we can refuse to be involved. We are simple people and have limited means. Any involvement will cost us more than it will ever be worth, and take even more time away that could be better spent healing.

If I never have to deal with a meth head again, it’ll be a good life. Fingers crossed.
