Burned clean through

If (when) ever tragedy strikes you, may it transform you eventually, and truly strengthen and mold you into a more resilient version of yourself, like a snake shedding its skin or phoenix rising from the ashes.  Happy 11th (!) anniversary to my lovely co-survivors of what could have been a much worse scenario de fuego.  I bring it up not to dwell and cling, but to celebrate how far we've come and our connectedness still.  Love to my women!

It's been a long time/I shouldn't have left you/Without a dope quote to vibe to
