I heard that song a few months after my best friend died (Shwaggy, my dog) and I cried uncontrollably, but it felt good. Great story 🙂

What a beautiful piece! Thank you so much for sharing it. You brought me to tears sitting at the counter of a busy breakfast restaurant. Not easy to do!

For me, more than anything else, Covid vividly illuminated how important to the human spirit shared emotional experiences like you describe here are.
