all i can say is, “bye felicia”. anyone who can’t handle us in our grief doesn’t deserve us in the sheets. thanks for this, reassuring and reaffirming that tragedy helps synthesize what’s truly of value. 💔❤️‍🩹

He made it about him and was unable to compliment your space or offer support… woof

Holyshit. Yea. So much in a nutshell….edge of the milk crate….deep connection with loss…those who can’t touch the void. Thank you for this. It’s holding my ambivalence in narrative.

I think many of us will have our own “cafe guy” stories. Felt very familiar! Beautifully told, and I’m happy to read your house is okay. And I hope that we don’t hear from CG again ;)

I’m up to my eyeballs in grief right now and I know it means love. He’s definitely not looking for anything meaningful but not sure he realizes it. Beautiful piece and I’m so glad the fire didn’t spread. 🖤🖤🖤

Oof, no. Ick, ick and some more ick. But a beautifully written story. I'm so glad your home is safe and I'm so sorry about the loss of your beloved cattle dog.

Good read, and my interpretation of how you wrapped it up . As I have heard from Zen Practitioners “life is suffering” . It’s what we experience daily all around us, but there is a whole lot of joy as well! All part of the ride, enjoy it all.. a package deal.
