Ally, I am so sorry.

What you wrote sprang from grief, but it was a gentle reminder of what I have to learn over and over again, so I thank you. I hope you will find comfort with your cousins. Love to you, and thank you again.

Ally, I know you mentioned you didn’t want everyone to focus on the sorry part, but I sincerely am so sorry for your loss. Your aunt and grandmother sound like absolute treasures who truly knew how to love with their whole hearts and that is so precious and beautiful. Children need that presence in their lives and not everyone is capable of giving it. But those who can make such a difference to so many kids for their whole lives. Your grief is real and true and it is never ever a burden to those who care about you. AND I am so thrilled you now have Rufus in the family!! 😍 I hope I spelled his name right. What a lucky pup. ❤️ He is always welcome in the background (or even the foreground) of any podcast session! I love Rufus and I’ve barely seen him yet. I hope to see and hear more of your adventures together. 💞

Thank you so much, Jennifer. I guess I have lost so many people the last few years, I’m very conscious of not wanting to be a burden to people around me. A lot of people can’t handle it, but I know I should not worry about it because those people probably left a long time ago. Thank you for your kindness, my Nanny and my aunt were just amazing and I’m so grateful for both of them. And for Rufus 🥹And for you 🙏🏼❤️‍🩹
