      I so totally get this on so many levels!
      My Jim‘s been gone nine years… This Thanksgiving will be my 10th without him and I feel his loss so deeply because Thanksgiving was his favorite holiday. All the special occasions hit differently and hard. Thank you for sharing and just letting you know I. Get. It.
      And………Happy Birthday bread man!!!! 🙃

        I was definitely surprised by the intensity of emotions when the Loss of Kateri bubbled up. And I’ll say it was kinda nice… but exhausting…!
