I said, well, a grief book's, you know, maybe 100 pages long, and, you know, they're usually sort of little pamphlets, and, oh, we do this and that, and then maybe we get a publisher. And I thought, boy, that is just the most sort of dismissive, unresponsive, irresponsible relationship I've ever been in with an agent.
Why would I have someone represent me who just assumed whatever I was doing was like... could be reduced into something that they would just say, well, this is what we do with that kind of thing. So I was a little pissed off about that, honestly. So when I wrote, this is not a grief book, it's a life book. That was my feeling at the time. So I thought I better get that down on paper. That's all.

That's why it's in there. But, um, It gathered more steam and more value for me as I finished the process and realized that this really was about a life and the life I'm still living and the life that Karen now lives. I mean, it's an extraordinary thing. I mean, Kate had this vision a year and a half ago and she said, it's really amazing what you're doing.

It's like you're putting her in a library. She's going to be in a library. Your sister will live forever. And that was really great. She said, it's a great gift you're giving her. And I realized that I didn't know that at the time, but she's giving me a gift in this writing. But also there is this, I want people to know my sister. I want them to know what a great girl she was.

And I want her to have what I've had, this amazing gift I've had of approbation and applause and success and love. And yeah, and self-torture and all that nonsense. But that's my own sort of my wrestling with the why me thing, the survivor's guilt stuff you go through. But I wanted to give her her due. She is due this. My success... Couldn't have been possible if it hadn't been for Karen.

Wouldn't have happened. Knowing her, loving her, and the remarks that she said, you know, you're going to do it all, those were important things. And I did live for her in a lot of ways. So I wanted people to know about her, just to celebrate her.

Yeah.
Yeah.
It's like the first time I saw one of these, it's in there somewhere that it says it's registered in the Library of Congress. And it has a number. And I thought, yeah, good. That's pretty great.

Oh, that was another reading with Esther. That was great. Because... That was when Karen said, remember. Karen actually said the word remember. And what she wanted me to remember was something so glorious. It was fantastic from our youth that we shared that she saw. And I'd never seen it. She just told me it was fantastic. But at this time, I got to see it through her eyes.

And that was an amazing regression, basically. So Esther said, so you're going down into a cave. There are two children with you. I said, oh, there were. Two Chinese kids, it looked like. They were about five and seven years old. And they were... either Chinese or Japanese. I mean, I wasn't sure, but I was holding hands with them. And she said, they're going to take you into the cave.

So we went into the cave. And then she said, take a look at them now. And it was Karen and me when we were younger. I said, oh. Well, how did you guys do that? And then, so I thought maybe we were past lives together. But then, as she said, she's going to give you something. The girl's going to give you something. Okay, she handed me a surfboard.
