Early this morning I went to Rotary Park and spread my portion of Chris’ ashes beneath our favorite tree.

It was anticlimactic.

I miss my best friend. But I am grateful that we belonged to each other for as long as we did.

Today marks 2 years since he left this timeline.

I told myself to spend yesterday doing something I love and keep out of my head. It didn’t work. I finished this project and hated the way it was completed. I’ll rip it apart and start again. That’s what I do. Rip and start again.
