Loved this piece. Fellow summer seasonal depressive over here. The outside sun of the world does not match my insides. My father also died in a July in Bermuda, and my body remembers every year. Sending you love and solidarity on this path of grief. xx
This was such a lovely read!! Thank you for sharing! The photo of your family is stunning! Thank you for sharing your grief journey. God and your dad were definitely smiling down when you were in the bookstore and antique shop. Beautiful story!!
And I understand what you mean about questioning interactions when traveling while Black. “Oh, they must be racist” is my default response 🥴.
Thank you for the compliment on our photo! Oh they must be racist is hilarious but in that "we laugh to keep from crying" sort of way. I'm trying harder to have more faith in people but it's so hard given where we are as a country 😑
Ok, even though I do NOT eat lobster, I DO want to visit the state of Maine. Loving lakes, rivers, seas & oceans will probably lead me to the coastal area of the state. I look forward to driving up the northeast coast. Thanks so much for sharing your experience. Aunt Dai~ 😊
Yes, it is so beautiful and honestly I do want to go back. Bar Harbor has been on my list for a while and it's on the coast. I've also heard a lot about Kennebunkport in southern Maine which is way easier for you to get to on a road trip. Maybe we can do a couples trip!!
