Good words: “It turns out grief doesn’t care about your outfit. Grief just wants company, the blessing of a long hug and shared tears.”

Glad you made it there for his family.

Happy birthday my fabulous friend! I also loved the quote Lisbeth and Kimberley commented on.

And 💯” or rather the fear of saying something stupid disguised as a preoccupation with my outfit.” It’s never really about the outfit, is it?

Peace Like a River is on my holds list!
