Glitter of Yesterday
Love leaves traces that never completely disappear.
Chapter Summary
Loss has a way of showing up when we least expect it. This chapter explores grief, remembrance, healing, and the ways people continue to shape our lives long after they're gone. It is a reminder that love doesn't disappear when someone leaves us, and that some of life's most meaningful memories can bring both tears and gratitude at the same time.
"Some memories still bring tears. Others bring smiles. Most bring a little of both...and that's okay."
