And I approached it all with the Sarah that I have been for decades.

Is she me?

Or is she a character?

That I crafted because I knew that that was the Sarah that was very loved and championed by my family.

But I wasn't always that way.

For three and a half years before my brothers were born.

I remember having two hands to hold.

I remember holding my mom's hand on one side and my dad's hand on the other side.

I remember being super playful.

I look at pictures of myself, and this is such a good activity for all of us, to be looking at the pictures of the little us's before there was a reckoning.

Looking at the three and a half year old Sarah, she felt really loved for just breathing.

But when my brothers were born and my dad kind of took one and my mom took the other, I remember I didn't have any hands.

And I remember my hands feeling empty.
