2021 July to Dec
about the second half of the year

i'm not someone who typically welcomes change but i can adjust if i really wanted to. this second half of 2021 has proven to be sadly eventful. the largest change in our lives would be the loss of mummy. it's hard to talk about it now but i'm already starting to lose my memory of some traumatic events that occured during the last 3 weeks of her life.
