Joan G 1944-2016

Another person who saved me.

20 years of tools to navigate an insane family and a very cold, harsh world. She made it to the other side. This lyric is so perfect, I can't think of a better tribute. She passed on April 5, 2016. I am somewhat ok with finding out now that she passed. I couldn't cope with this and Prince last year at the same time.

Joan, thank you. We worked in tiny offices together from February 1989 to July 2009. I knew the moment I said goodbye to you in your basement of Park Slope that I'd never see you again. This hurts, but your legacy is having helped so many broken people from crazy families such as mine.

Thank you.
