Man, your writing always resonates so much with me. Big shout out to Kayla for sharing your post once on Instagram so I could subscribe.

I always tell people that the best and worst thing that ever happened in my life was losing my Dad suddenly to cancer at 18. After getting weird looks, I explain how my perspective on life shifted in a way that I could feel in my entire body.. from knowing something in my head (like “life is short”) to knowing and feeling it with my entire being. It certainly changed my life trajectory for the better, so, like you, I am thankful for his death. (And wow—writing that does feel wrong!) 😅
