I got done reading and realized I had my funeral face on... that one that is part happiness but mostly suffering...
This was beautifully written, made it a little hard for me to breathe, gave me a funny feeling in my stomach. But I loved it because it was real and honest and left me wanting more. And, none at all. So many emotions. Wonderful work.
