Oh wow, Kim, this really hit me. Thank you for writing it. The sandwich and the dahlias, oh. The red sweatpants. The date. Dorothy. So much here.

Thank you, Susie. I'm so glad it resonates. Working hard on a draft of a bigger project from which this is extracted. Dahlias keep entering my subconscious, by the way! Hope your autumn has been filled with oranges and pinks.

Deeply moved. Grief that will remain raw whenever it resurfaces, from not far below the surface. Thank you, Kim, for sharing.
