A few words

July 7, 2021.Reading time 4 minutes.

It feels odd to have such a good day, a few days after my grandpa passed at home. I have no real words to encompass all that, or who he was, to me and to others, not yet. Instead, and maybe because of him, I took a step out of my depression and had a […]

Running: The Long Road Back
