Had to breathe a bit before commenting. So. Freaking. Raw. And yet sweet. Love your writing. Complex and real. Such a full snippet of life. Stunned me quiet. Can only comment in phrases, lol.

Beautiful Tammy. Raw, visceral, full of ache. Our art wrecks us, whether we remain in relationship or bid farewell. Such a sweet ache, though, just to have touched it for a time. Thank you for sharing this. It hit close for me. 💙

So beautiful, Tammy. Thank you for sharing. I think knowing it is CNF makes it even more profound.

Beautiful piece. Wow. I played the flute competitively in high school and still miss it in my bones. This ending brought it back.
