I believed in the impossible, and then remembered it was impossible. >> i love all your writing, and this is my favorite. the truest of true truths throughout. keep going. can’t wait to hear more about you, the tom shaped hole in your heart, and the journey to figuring out how to see yourself as the rest of us do - as extraordinary and magical, irrespective of accomplishments on any given day/week/year/lifetime 💜

Wow, love. Beautiful introspection. Thank you for sharing, thank you for staying. You are special; and a wonderful human, father, partner, and friend. There is no rush to you seeing your special for how sparkly it is, you will get there, I know it. And this exploration reads like an important step on that Camino 🫶🏼

This was heartfelt and heartbreaking. So sorry about Tom.

Sometimes we forge forward and connect the dots backwards. Sending a big hug!
