Remembering Gary
My cousin, Gary Marsh, was one of my favorite people as a child. Every time we visited my mom's family, I immediately wanted to know two things: is Gary there and can I play with the critters nearby. He lived out deep in rural Arkansas, on land that has been in my family for generations.
Gary was also mentally ill and quality mental health care was difficult to access in rural Arkansas.
