Dear Listeners,

Please note the audible caution with brief description of content prior to play. Part memoir, part history, the poem describes back-to-back April Fools' Days that were particularly cruel for one military family and community. The tragedies that befell my neighbors and fellow classmates exemplified powerful lessons:

• Physicians are often lonely and suffer in silence
• Military psychiatrists are vulnerable to suicide just as the patients they treat
• A military widow with children who is determined to keep family together is potent opposition for an F3, if it tries to rip all apart, again the following year

Dedicated to veterans and military families affected by moral injury, PTSD, and suicide. On a separate note, April marks a history of tragic freight.

We appreciate the consideration for our recent deviation, with concern about caregivers no matter the age. If resolutions are slower than molasses in January, we are keeping it copacetic. No negative body image or post-holiday fitness lectures here, just to be clear.
