I’ve always had it in my head that to have a big change in perception/habit/personality it had to be preceded by a monumental “a-ha” moment; something huge that slaps you in the face with the brute force of its clarity and resonance.

Saying Good-Bye to The Baby I Never Held
When we lose someone we love, we typically have memories to remember them by; the smell of Grandpa's cologne, Grandma teaching you how to bake, the shirt Dad slept in all the time.
