The Change

Loneliness. An emotion I fought with every single day. I have no family, except for my father who has been in a nursing home, because of early-onset dementia, since I was 17. The doctors said it could have been caused by the severe trauma he experienced after losing my mother in a plane crash on her way home from a weekend getaway with her two best friends. Ironic, right? Either way, I wasn’t enough.
