One day, me
How will it go when I’m gone?How will my loved ones grieve?How can I help?all to knowthat my lovewill go on

RIP Oliver
Grief is a funny thing,and by funny I mean it feels like getting hit by a truckloaded with hot-sauceas the sun eclipseswhilst the shards of glass litter your backand you forget how to breathagain and again.
