"By dinnertime, we were boneless" - a beautiful line. I'm so sorry for the tragic loss of Alex and the life you dreamed of together. Even though you have a beautiful life now, you will carry that for the rest of your life. Thinking of you, Alex, and his family, with love.
“Content to just exist beautifully” that phrase caught in my throat as I read this supremely intelligent story about love and the cutting off of possibility. Thank you.
Here I sit, weeping into my coffee. Aching for Jamie, for Alex, for all four of their parents, and for the world. But I smile thinking of the man Jamie married sharpening that knife. Just as I smile when I scrub the very old pot that my husband's first beloved kept shined. A gem.
Each of these keepthings has its own poignancy and this one is no different. The writing felt like the words were being shaved off to the page by the Victorinox itself. Gorgeous. And so very sad. I'm sorry for your loss.
This left me aching at the loss of someone I do not even know. The tenderness in every word and action.

You’re wrecking me over here. Wiping tears on the plane. Devastatingly beautiful. Brutiful. ❤️🩹
I love this ❤️
Beyond gorgeous! Every word pounding with love and clarity.
I'm so proud to call Jaimie my friend and former student. I've learned the world from her!
No words, just tears 💔

Beautiful, sad. The knife sure beats ashes! Got me thinking now...about deep felt sense objects after deep loss!
Beautiful essay. Thank you for sharing your story of Alex.
Beautiful love story. I felt the weight of the unspoken guilt.
Gulp. What a heart-wrenching, beautifully told story. So few words made me feel so much.
Utterly gorgeous. So heartbreaking. Beautifully told.
