A Brief Hiatus
Just a quick note: I’m back in Raleigh, living out of Airbnbs until I can get an approval on a place to live, handling logistics, and working through some really tough emotions. So, in general, not in a good headspace for writing anything worth reading.
I will probably be radio silent until some time next week, so don’t be surprised if you don’t hear from me for a few days. I will be back with the next installment in the series as soon as I can think clearly.
Thanks again for all your support!

Steve,
No two people on this earth go through horrendous pain of soul in the same way.
Grief, in whatever form it takes, for whatever reason, is a brutal companion. Supposedly, we work through it. I'm personally stuck in the anger phase and no one gets it.
Years of unresolved issues, words spoken with personal attack in mind, things done on purpose....play over and over until the suffocation begins and you hope for death of memory.
You know this all too well.
You have now before you the part you've dreaded most. There is no way but through it.
Firm resolve, Steve. You are as prepared as any soldier....but even the most prepared doubt.
They go into battle afraid, fearing the unknown. They win the battle that rages within.
I’ll be sure to include in my prayers today.
