I read these words twice and felt them. I am feeling into them with you now, and it is bringing tears to my eyes as they are stoking my own grief, too. What a wonderful and yet bittersweet memory, as the tangible has vanished and our felt sense craves theirs. Birthdays can be so hard, and I wish I could be there to hug you. In the silence is the knowing, and I am proud of you for bravely going there, and I am glad your friends went there with you. Sending so much love your way 🫂❤️
