    Well, We Had A Nice Run (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    But first: a sincere, teary-eyed thank you for the overwhelming kindness on my last post, which I never in a million years wanted to write. I have not had the emotional capacity to respond to comments or emails, but I have read every single one. Your compassion has been a light, and a buoy. Thank you. ❤️ While I don’t feel any pressure to re-enter this space consistently, I actually wrote this post two weeks before The Phone Call, so I’m letting it fly for now. Thank you—as always—for supporting
