I love everything about this! I especially love how you described your weary heart resting in their love and acceptance because that's what your writing provides to the many who read it, a place to rest our weary heart where we feel accepted and loved. You have such a gift my friend ♥️
Michele. This is such a beautiful story. Somehow, I had pictures in my mind of what a story about Cilantro would be and I was not picturing this. I loved being brought for a moment into that Vietnamese. Even the cigarettes and hotel rooms captivated me. Thank you.
Beautifully written, Michele, and what a lovely tribute to the love and support of family that is not - technically - family. I'm sorry for your loss, even from a distance. And I'm glad you were able to rekindle your friendship. Those who love us best and most truly are never beyond reach.
