I honestly can't believe I didn't know you had a blog until now, and I truly feel terrible. I have followed your story, and the story of Haloumi, so closely since it all happened.

It was a little spark you created, that did indeed grow inside of you, that you had hopes and dreams for. Losing all of that is significant and will require grieving.
