I.... simply have no words. I do not think I have ever been more at a loss for words in response to a piece. This is my favorite of yours yet, I think. The tragedy, the beauty, the honesty, the pain, the love... All of it, man, is just... Wow. I am so lucky that I am alive rn to witness a talent like you get recognition for his work. Thank you for sharing this piece with us. Wow. Just. Wow.

I LOVE this piece! Especially the scene at the lake. I grew up on a lake and there is nothing more beautiful than a meaningful moment shared by the water. This story had so many elements I loved, and I really liked how the story jumped through memories. It was an honest look at how tragedy can pull our minds in different directions. Thank you for sharing it!
