Wow, this was beautiful! Reminds me of the impact we have on others, bringing light to darkness, one person at a time.

Wow, great job Devon! I loved to see your writing skills in this avenue! It's such a touching story, and you are one of the best authors to write it from your experiences.

I love that one line, "grief is not the absence of hope." - made me immediately think of its counterpart: "Courage is not the absence of fear."

Blessings to you in the new year!

My favorite part was just the acknowledgement, "he mattered." Such a caring simple phrase loaded with empathy and care.
