It certainly sounds like your brother has a good head on his shoulders. Good for him and good that he has family to support him.

Yes, he does have a great head on his shoulders. He's a really good kid. Thank you for reading!

Parents sometimes forget all the feelings they have depression, shame, exhilaration, etc.. children and teens can feel too.

I enjoyed reading about the camaraderie in your family, well done.

Well written, too.

The way you wrote made me feel the family has hope. The solid help you all gave Tanner was heartening. A beautiful entry.

That support is so special.

Thank you so much! And thank you for reading!

That's neat the whole family chipped in to help with his homework project.

Thanks so much for reading.

This is great - I love how your use of a strong structure takes this beyond diary entry into personal essay, with great insights for the reader! You might enjoy Anne Lamott's book Bird by Bird - not only is it an awesome book on writing, but she talks about her family in a way I think you'd appreciate.

I'm going to go call my brother now :)
