Thank God for waking me up this Sunday morning ,As I sit in contemplation this morning, my voice rises to heaven, seeking guidance and strength from God, even as grief's shadow lingers. The familiar ache of longing to connect with my parents and long time companion and partner AJ Crawford of 28 years remains, but it's tempered now with a deeper appreciation for the time we shared and a resolve to honor their memory by embracing life's challenges with courage and resilience. Though their physical presence is gone, I draw comfort from the enduring bond of love and the wisdom they instilled in me. Navigating the darkness of loss is undeniably tough, yet it's also an opportunity for growth and self-discovery. With upcoming knee replacement surgery on the horizon, I'm reminded of my own capacity for resilience, and I take heart knowing my parents' spirits watch over me, guiding me forward. Their legacy lives on through me, and I'll continue to find strength in the memories and values we shared.
