Thank you, Vicki! Your response was a heart-warming one to read. Yes, it's true that it takes time. I find that the ebbs and flows in healing have been occurring further and further apart, and I was ebbing when I wrote this.

I'm not sure if he knows that I write. I haven't shared with him the fact that I started writing “in public”, as it was a pretty new thing the last time we spoke face to face. But I know he knows I can't help but be authentic and transparent, especially when it comes to expressing myself and what's in my heart. We always used to joke about the book I would write one day. So, who knows 🤷🏽‍♀️
