No one needed me between the hours of 9am and 5pm and there was a terror and thrill to this new reality. I took grief, wellness and writing classes, traveled to see friends and family, learned how to draw and paint. I learned how to shape my day, how to survive the time from sunup to sundown without Daryl, my North Star.
