I read your newsletter because a lifetime ago we were best friends. I miss that relationship, and even though we haven't seen each other in almost a decade, I care.

Wow. You mentioned you might consider my story for an upcoming essay. I still haven't been able to read your posts, but as much as I can, I am looking forward to it. We now share a sad bond, and I'm thankful I can learn part of this wicked path through your experiences.

Thank you for the inspiration, John! I'm so glad you reached out, though I'm so sorry we now share this bond. I've been thinking about you a lot, and I'm sending strength for the road ahead.

I read because I met you a month after my grandma died, when I was still grappling with what that even meant for me and my family. I needed this reminder that my grief is valid. Having someone guide me through this big loss has been so so important.
