It has been one of those dreams that feels as vivid now as it did the night I dreamt it. Grief comes to us in so many forms 💛

Thank you, Troy 🙏🏼 it was heartbreaking to receive the news that she had still been struggling despite not seeing her in years. The glimmer of joy was discovering she had self-published a poetry book since, and I bought it so that could be a memory of her I could hold onto.
