A story I will never forget, woven so beautifully. Truly a moving story about love, the ways we mold ourselves to fit, like puzzle pieces, in and around our Loved ones. Poetic. The then-and-now framework, and the telling of so many peoples stories, made it to where I had to read s l o w to catch every connection, which I didn’t mind - considering I never wanted it to end. Spectacular.
