Thank you, Francisco. Andrew was my first major loss. Others ensued. Toward the end of my Andrew piece, I mentioned losing Lindsey. I left a subtle link to this story. https://medium.com/know-thyself-heal-thyself/a-defiant-lovestory-89d431ba5bf9 Many of my essays describe how I wailed on the street while the police would not let me inside to see her body--and I experienced an instantaneous spiritual awakening. I also lost my friend Jason from similar circumstances. I wrote this tribute to him on March 6th, which would have been his 56th birthday. https://marcus17043.medium.com/haiku-sonnet-for-my-friend-jason-c64fafec763e
I live and write to honor all of them. I feel the presence of all of them often. I sense connection to Lindsey's soul, Sitara, 24/7/365. https://medium.com/flowers-of-inspiration/12th-step-1st-step-conscious-contact-with-heaven-8854ae714389
