Timeline

This is very rough, just sketches of dates and incidents that strike me as I work through everything, all the recent trauma. I don’t know how these fit together or if they do. My mind wants to make sense where maybe there is one. Are any of these events related in any way? Are the random and coincidental? I don’t know. But my mind tries to work it out anyway. The mind wants to find sense even if there is none.
