A beautifully written and engaging story. Sorry for the loss of something so meaningful to your journey. It is another bump in the road, and hopefully will somehow, in ways we don't yet know, lead you to new frontiers. I say this because you've clearly demonstrated the strength to carry on in the face of misfortunes the likes of which cause many to crumble. I believe in your ability to find a way to flourish from this point forward. Carry on, soldier. 😊
