Aly's Angioma. I had a concussion when I was 11 and then 4 years ago a cavernous angioma bled into my brain. I had brain surgery to remove the tumor from my brain stem. In this, my second life, people do not see ME anymore.

Sometimes when you lose....
...something, you do not realize it is missing until you need it.
After my TBI, I realized I took for granted a lot of the cognitive skills I am now missing. Also, when my dad died I realized he served a significant but undefinable purpose in my life. Around the same time that I realized I needed help from my brain injury, I started to find a lot of lost gloves. The gloves made me think, "Wow, these people won't even realize that they lost one glove until they need it because their hands get cold."
Your comment is helpful though because I have not finished that painting. I think I see what is missing.
Pardon me, but I don't get it.
