Trying not to be on twitter (@brockfrench), but I always stop my scroll to be an Ashley enjoyer... Your 'number 1' here at the end of this post reminded me of a time when I was trying to use github as a tool for posting *waves hands* "just ideas"... It's Lifeday, Offbeat. 💟

Happy New Year, Ashley! Thank you for sharing your experiences and writing from the heart! ❤️ My friend

calls the anniversary of her husband's death his "Heaven Day" or his "Wing Day" or his "Passing Day." Interchangeably. She also sometimes calls it "The Worst Fu*king Day." All have merit.

Wishing you health, happiness and a routine you enjoy in 2025.
