Michael! It's so good to see your name here. Oh man, the Paper Heart--those were simpler times. The BEST times! Snakebites, spoken word, and the paragraph assassins!! Babies indeed. Hope you're doing well, friend.
Thank you Heather I really resonated with this, although my circumstance is very different, the universal themes of loss, grief and our tendencies to numb or ourselves is so relatable. And I loved listening to you read it!
Oh my gosh Heather this is a stunning piece of writing and so deeply moving. I am so sorry you lost your dad so young, in such a sudden way. I lost my mum aged 14 to cancer, so there are differences, but also I so relate to trying to cope with grief through drinking. Thank you for sharing your story and huge congratulations on five and a half years of sobriety xxx
This is so painful, so beautiful, so powerful, Heather. Thank you for writing it - it touched something deep and important in me. ❤️
Thank you, Dana.
Love all of this. I remember we met shortly after all this happened, had to have been at the Paper Heart. Seems like forever ago, we were babies!
