This is my primitive rendition of my hand, my mother’s and my brother Mike’s during our last visit to see him (trigger warning – some angry words from a frustrated sibling) in his group home in 2013. My brother Dave was there too, so it was the last gathering of all the living members of my primary family. I look at these hands and remember trying to establish meaningful contact with Mike. The anger is dulled.
