I hadn't seen you yet since it happened. When I did, the pain and wisdom in your eyes was only something that comes from the deep grief of losing a parent. The eyes forever changed. And selfishly, I wondered if anything would ever be the same. If your eyes would return to their “normal” soft … Continue reading Right of Passage
