This is a beautiful piece, Dekera. And words fail me in trying to capture all that it's given me while reading it. Your voice comes through effortlessly and originally. I feel this is an essay I will come back to many times. Thank you for writing it.

Your heartfelt reflections on your lost loved ones resonate with me. Reading your story has reminded me of the importance of cherishing our memories and not taking life for granted. Thank you for sharing your beautiful perspective with us.
