What a beautiful story and a precious memory. Your words made me feel as though I were seeing it through your eyes and feeling every emotion alongside you.
Dhana!!!! Beautifully written stroll down memory lane. From Nepal all the way to Vancouver and all the moments in between. Thank you for allowing us all to look into those little mirrors.
This piece is like a coming attraction for a favorite movie. I want to know the whole story, the hows, the whats, the whys, everything.
It sparked many fond memories of my adventurous youth as well as a few regrets. Unlike you I couldn't connect with my best friend of 45 years. Now he's gone and I wake up alone every morning.
Dianne! Your comment here is lighting up my heart. Giving me the energy to get writing again this morning. Yes. So many stories, it's hard to pick just one tiny moment. Perhaps you and I crossed paths somewhere...I'm sorry you are waking up without your person. But you're waking up! Which is the greatest gift!
Beautiful piece! I loved learning about the author's journey through the little green dress.
Thank you for reading Sumitra!

Beautiful memories of the past are like a warm embrace that time can never steal."
Oh Dhana! This little story is perfection! I can picture it all so clearly and I felt the importance of the dress as a shift in your destiny.
The beauty of Roberts quiet hope for a future with you, the loyalty that has paid off and then some.
An amazing still life, I have always loved the little things that matter… like this sweet green dress and all that it means.

I had a feeling about that Robert…
What a wonderful story about the interplay of fate and our imagined futures. ❤️
That Robert...yes! Only took me a decade and a marriage to another person to figure it out lol. But here we are...26 years later...
Such a beautiful story. And a mesmerizing little dress ❤️
