Oh my goodness Teri you wrote a masterpiece of hardened emotion. Don't know where you found the strength to write these words. Words of hope. Words of longing. Words of peace and courage. Bless you.
Beautiful -- and heartbreaking at the same time. My hope is that the photo came into your life with a higher purpose; that a shared passion for humanity can bring reconnection and unity to three broken but loving hearts. 💜💜💜
@Lightonecandle resists - I can’t help it. I have so many contradictory emotions running through me these days. Thanks for sharing tears with me. it’s always better to cry in community.
one thing I always admired about Rainy is how comfortable he is in his body. He owns it. and here, he made it work to his purpose in such a beautiful immoveable way.

Thank you Tom. This one woke me at 1:30am this morning. It taunted me until I finally gave in and got up at 3:30am to write. It spilled out of me.
So beautiful and moving. The gentleness emanates from that boy. Your words about him will stay with me.
He's not a boy anymore. 25years old...and clearly sitting in power. I just want to hug him again.
A powerful, self-possessed young man. I hope you will be able to hug him one day.
from what I remember (vividly) he is a really good hugger. I remember how he just wrapped me up in the giant pillow of himself.

I'm hoping somehow he gets a copy of this article and reaches out.
I love his smile. And his face. And his demeanor. What a lovely boy.
He's a special one.
Could you possibly write one of these things without pulling tears to my eyes and my heart swelling all up?? Rainy. Like a rainy day. Jeez

Beautifully written! Thank you for sharing his story!
thank you, I do believe this is some of my best writing. the symbolism and extended metaphor here really surprised me as it came out.
Just - WOW! 💜🤗💜
that's what I thought! thanks for always reading Sarah. I appreciate you.
☺️
I think a couple of the Fat Boys are in awe.

That's a great ... painting?
I uploaded a screenshot of the video…finding the exact moment where Rainy smiled, and asked AI to turn it into a watercolor image for me.
This touched my heart. 💕
