    Well, fuck this is good! <β€” my 4-letter words. The constraints of the challenge didn’t limit you at all. This is a profound expression of the enduring love we all hope for.

  • Wow, how unique! I love this angle you took... the "after" portion people don't think about. But you still incorporated love into it... truly well done!

    Well written, Ashley! Sad. Cheery. True. Love does not end with death. It's above and beyond that.
