Pickles & Motor Oil | Post 509

Pickles.

It warms my heart to know so many of you out there in internetland care enough to reach out and check on me. Your concern and support has meant the world to me as I’ve been navigating this emotional turbulence over the past several weeks.

I want to assure you that I’ve turned a corner and I’m beginning to see the light at the end of the forest.

I’m not 100% back to my normal self, yet. But there’s been lots of movement up in the old noggin’. At some point I may share what I’ve been going through. But I’m not ready to go there yet.

For now, I’ll leave it at this:

Mark is not coming back.

That’s very painful to admit.
