Lyrical, beautiful prose. You nave a great and rare talent, Olivia. You are, in my opinion, one of the finest writers of the new millennium.

Reading this was the sweetest moment in my day. I thought I was reading an article in VanityFair. You painted the complexity, pain and joy of what ever we call family

“People are the Same”. What a great commentary. It made me realize that we all deal with “Constants” in life, many of which u mentioned. In many ways Papa had a very fulfilling life . And I know fulfillment gave him happiness.

Beautiful and thought provoking. I’ve come across similar photos of relatives long gone and it’s not so much finding out dark secrets, even if they are dark. But rather trying to understand more of someone. At least for me.

Such thoughtful, multifaceted exploration of self and family. Magnificent writing.
