It's so ironic how I thought about Riky, in the afternoon and ended up on a rabbit hole on the web just reading about his life and I found myself wondering how B is coping. She wears her multilayered pain with grace and I pray that she finds joy, meaning, and healing again. I also resonated with her when she spoke about the proclivity to move through the world whilst masking our trauma - that was a lesson on facing your pain and learning to pause. This was a beautiful watch. We love you B 🤎
