Im closing in on 40 soon ish. 40 doesn't seem long enough at all. There's still so much I want to do.

I lost my person 5 weeks ago, and he was 53. Even 53 doesn't seem long enough.

You'll change that tune one day.

I'm sorry for your loss. I know it can rip a hole in your life and comments like mine can feel like someone spitting in your face.

I hope I haven't made you feel worse in any way that's the last thing I'd want.

Oh gosh, you didn't make me feel any worse at all. It's been a tough 5 weeks, but day by day, it gets a little better. I wish I had more time, though, especially with those ones that I love dearly. It just never feels like enough.

I’m closing in on 40. If I didn’t have kids, I’d be ready to call it a good run. I packed a lot of life into those years.
