We are grateful you are back to writing. You have such a gift with words. As with Needs An Ocean, I love that your brother is part of the ocean. We are all together in the ocean. I love that your brother was also not alone on that beach because you were there with him. Back to the Start of it from your playlist of The Scientist by Coldplay. How beautiful that you went back to the start of the story of your parents. Pearl and Jesse were there smiling with you and your friend that sacred and beautiful day.

I like the world better with your voice in it. Hi. I've missed you.

I love the imagery that Jesse is always with with y'all in the water... and that those are your father's words. I will swoon a little every time you share that photo of you and your dad. It reminds me of a picture I have with with my dad near our first house. And I play that James Taylor song every time I drive in NC too :)

Here's that playlist on Spotify... (link below updated to be Jamie's actual playlist)

Thank you for sharing. As someone who lost a sibling they never got to know, I get the feeling of showing up too late. Sending you much love.
