This is so beautiful! I love the way you interwove the threads- I can feel all of what it feels like to go through a divorce, the loss, the renewal, the fear, the lonliness and ultimately the hope. I have been there and you nailed it!

Your writing draws me in and I feel like we’re together at lunch in the city, having one of our normal conversations, catching up. Phenomenal writing, as always.

Beautifully written. Coffee is always more than coffee. Or, maybe, it's nothing more than whatever (or however!) we make it out to be.
