You write about the hardest things in your life in a way that leaves the reader not with a sense of tragic, but with "sweet and vulnerable." Beautifully written. I am with you, thinking about my daughter and me. I am leaving soon (I don't know exactly when), but I look at it calmly. Everybody leaves... I wish you a good year, it's only beginning...
Thank you, Larisa. There must be a thousand iterations every day of sons, daughters, mothers, fathers, lovers, friends going through the same thing. I'm glad to hear you feel calm, I'm sure it helps your daugther too. A great year to you both.
It is very hard to find words in this situation, but you opened yourself to them from all those sons, daughters, mothers, fathers and so on... I am very sorry.
"Like they know it’s their last year together" stopped me in my tracks, had that sinking feeling in the gut. You're writing is so powerful and gets right to the bone
lowkey took me so long to post something because I just couldn't write about anything else, but at the same time I know most ppl don't like the ones about death too much. but I said fuck it, the homies will understand. and here you are 🫶
Can't get too pleased with myself having made the altruistic decision because it'll make it less altruistic. I'll just call it love and keep on sending & receiving 🫶

always happy to share the misery 🫡
This made me tear up. In a good way.
I was a bit numb before reading this. Now I'm filled with feelings.
good, take some of mine! I got plenty 😭
Grief is a thing with teeth & claws. Of what was/is/could be/no longer remains.
Please take care of you 🤍
That is beautifully put, Jo. Thanks so much

A great writer AND a great daughter. I'm sure your folks appreciate your sacrifice and support.
