But it actually took me, I think...
Maybe two months sort of just sitting on it and really thinking about it before I, and really thinking about why would I put it out there?

For what reason?
And if I did want to, do I have the courage to do it?
that's something I'm still figuring out if I'm honest with you.
I think it ultimately it was, I really trust the people around me and the people around me were telling me that this could be, this could resonate with other people's experience, that it's sort of creating, finding words that other people relate to and, um, that for other people it might resonate with them or feel good to read something like what I wrote.

We still wanted more time together and hoped that, you know, with certain interventions that we might be able to buy more time together.
And it was really, it's really sort of sitting in that crossroads.
that we found ourselves in that day.
And of course, something unexpected happened the next day that we couldn't have predicted or foreseen.
