I just, don't even have the words for this spectacular piece. It is poignant and perfect and so true and robust that I had to put it down and finish it hours later - it was such a substantial portrait of liffe that it felt like living it with you. I can't tease apart how I felt as both reader and confidant while reading this, so while I want to just keep praising your talent, i also want to just sit next to you and breathe the grief. Well done.

“What though the radiance which was once so bright

Be now forever taken from my sight,

Though nothing can bring back the hour

Of splendor in the grass, of glory in the flower;

We will grieve not, rather find

Strength in what remains behind.”

- Intimations of Immortality, by William Wordsworth
