On April 5, 2024, I became a widow.

Unlike most widows, I don’t have any wrinkles, or even a single gray hair. I still get asked to show my ID when I order a drink!

This is the story of my journey. I am striving to continue living a joyful adventurous life, even though my best friend is gone. I hope that this blog will be helpful to other millennial widows who need a seed of hope.
