This very day marks the six month anniversary of my Kindred Spirit’s death. “How are you?” people ask me (though it isn’t often anymore). It’s a tough question to answer. I don’t cry as much as I did. Sometimes, I just wish life would end. But that’s on a really bad day. On the good … Continue reading »
