John, I, just recently and finally, had my 1st public breakdown since my sweet daughter's departure 4yrs ago. It felt so freeing allowing myself to let go & not care about what others thought of it or me. Thank you so much for putting into words how that felt.

With Gratitude,

June

It's like you wrote this just for me.

The substack notification came through as I was pulling myself together after the latest round of sobs. I've been leaky all morning because today would have been my 19th wedding anniversary. When he proposed, he hid the ring in my lunch - from Arby's.

Our marriage didn't make it, but I'm fortunate because we still have love and respect for each other and make a great co-parenting team. On days like today, it just stings that we couldn't achieve that together.

Thank you for what you share.
