Today would have been my 20th wedding anniversary. BvP texted me shortly after Max’s passing last summer and he’s doing very well. Even though we’re apart longer than we were together, I can’t ignore the date. Twenty years was a…
Happy birthday, BvP
I haven’t talked to him in years, and that’s okay, because these things happen. I couldn’t even tell you where he’s living. But today is his birthday, and he’s been heavy on my mind the last few days. I don’t…

Letter to myself, six months ago
