Just wanted to share with the Glow community. A lot of people on here have helped me cope this past year. Thank you. 

A year ago today, I lost the very person I have grown to love unconditionally, the very little person my life revolved around. There are no words to explain the depth of despair that I went through when attempting to understand the shift that occurs when all hopes and expectations suddenly drop out from underneath anything stable. The loss of TJ is an experience that many will never need to make sense of and also one that many others will swim through unexpectedly. It has become normal to feel triggered into sadness and despair when I least expect it. I find reminders in the places where I least intend them to be. Today I am honoring TJ through this balloon releasing event. I believe this is a way of incorporating him into my life as I move forward. Regaining strength does not mean that I have “moved on” and will no longer think of what might have been. TJ will always be a part of me, forever. 💕👣
