So loving, so touching. To have such a love is rare - and to have it ripped away totally unfair - saddens me immensely when people living a loving life have fate throw a wrench in the works.

It’s the strange paradox of loving. ❤️ Thank you so much for reading.

One of the better shorts I’ve read today. I enjoyed the story and felt like pain of reliving the drop off knowing she’s already gone.

I want to get this line tattooed on my arm: We can be like starfish, regenerating lost arms.

Love a good ghost story that’s not about instilling fear, but love and hope. Thank you.

I hadn’t thought about it that way, but I love that perspective. Thank you ❤️

My stomach dropped particularly dramatically at noticing Katelyn's backpack was empty. Reading for five minutes and I, too, wish she could stay. Thank you for writing.
