I’m not sure what to say in the face of such a difficult loss. Words, no matter how kind, can’t mend your heartache.
Please know that you and Andy are loved and cared for and are not alone.
Please remember to be gentle with yourself, and take the time needed to start healing that beautiful heart of yours.
I didn’t know your Mom, but she must have been incredible to raise someone as special as you.
