I'm 'so sorry this happened, AND I am in awe of and inspired by the art you made from this. Your last sentence wins the Olympic Gold Medal in metaphors, too.

This sounds so scary, Becky! I’m glad you and Archie are okay. Thank you for showing us that threads of empathy are what really stitch things up ❤️

I hate that this happened, but this is so beautifully written. We’re all human having our own experiences in this life. The choice to have empathy to try and see it from another’s perspective- add it to the list of reasons why I love my bestie. 💛

Ugh, still just so sorry this happened. But so glad you wrote about it—turning the hard and scary into something beautiful for the rest of us to hold onto, as you always do.❤️
