Thanks Pepper. ☺️ And I agree - I think it’s in the challenges that we learn the most. I take the good, and the bad. It all shaped me. ❤️

This made me cry hard. Thank you for sharing in doing so you reminded me of so much. I hope doing this helps with your grief, but doesn’t fix it because it’s an important part of life to love and to experience loss. Grief never gets fixed in my experience, but you sure show how to process it. thank you for your beautiful words. Big hugs.

Steph, I'm so sorry for your loss. This is such a beautiful reflection and loving tribute to your father. It's so moving to see the impact he has had and continues to have on your life and work. It's so powerful to recognize how people can influence how we choose to live and interact with the world - not just their positive traits and accomplishments, but the challenges they faced as well. Thank you for sharing this. It's so inspiring.
