Thanks Cooky! I love them too. They were taken by an amateur and his son who happened to live next door to Kims parents. I think the fee was a few bottles of red wine. 😉

The way you write about Kim’s experience, your family’s grief, and the complicated feelings around Christmas really struck me. It’s such a reminder of how far the ripples of illness go, far beyond the person who’s sick.

I don’t comment often because I don’t always have the words — sometimes your posts hit too close to home. Your voice carries so much emotion, and I’m not going to lie, sometimes I cry. My mom was ill too, and it’s a long story, but I just want you to know I’m here, listening. I’m so glad to see you traveling again, and that Evie is getting you out into the world and bringing joy back into your days. She sounds like such a light. I hope Kim is well.

Hi Lily, my first reply just wasn't right. Thank you so much. Whether you comment or not I know that you're there reading. And I so appreciate it.

I know that I write close to the line. I have the feeling that someone needs to do that and speak real life. Hard as it is. So that we all know that we're not alone. Thank you so much for your support - your comments and likes are very precious to me. 🥰
