Sounds like a lot of hits of reality. From both the past, and the current moment. One experience sparking a memory, and then another. Sometimes life is just a little too connected.

The best part is you all have each other, and this piece brings you all together in a new and deeper way. I can feel the growth and deepening occurring from all these miles away.

A well written piece here, my friend. You really caught the moment and rode it well. A stream of consciousness that hits all the grace notes. Nicely done, Reece.
