I have been fighting the pull of getting caught up in the story of grief, and the tendency to idolize my partner.

To see again those words that so well, to me, describe the weight of grief and then the the simple lightness of taking that "face" and realizing with the word I will love you again, I will love life. Hope your AWP night was wondrous.Linda M. Epsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10483121679256889932noreply@blogger.com
