Live your life. It’s an awful thing to miss someone who’s still here.

This novella was such a punch to the gut, but 100% worth the read. I don't personally connect with the subject matter
(a loved one battling with dementia)
, but it definitely forced me to reflect on my own life and realize the importance of embracing all of the ups and downs while enjoying the little moments and not taking anything for granted (something that I find myself guilty of, especially during life's busy times). Ultimately this is a beautiful story that makes me want to hug my loved ones extra close.
