Your wise and clear view of grief has been a gift to me. Thank you for sharing and expressing so clearly grief’s journey. I know how crazy grief can make us. I also know how life’s journey continues to pull us forward. I continue to look forward to your beautiful writing and know that someday I will be reading your first novel. Sweet Jessie…. You bring so much light into this world. Thank you for that. Your Mama and Mommy raised quite a young woman.

Love, Nana

Jessie, I know I am not alone to have been deeply impacted by this essay (as I have been all along since you started writing on this platform). I cried my way through it, so sad for and so proud of you all at once. Having this window into how you are experiencing your grief and your life over time is very moving. Your love for your Mama comes shining through every time, and that makes me smile.
