I can’t read it until the kids are in bed. Joe was one of my best friends at school, someone who I looked up to as a role model and who genuinely broadened my horizons. We lost touch in adulthood unfortunately, but I know reading that will have me in floods of tears.
I just read this, hadn't come across the earlier stuff. So calm and beautiful and sad.
