This was truly beautiful, Liberty. One of the most powerful pieces I've read in awhile.

Almost no one deserves to be remembered for their worst moments. I was so incredibly touched by the end of your story. Not just because of how powerful your writing is, but because my dad always has and still does say the same to me. As a kid I always thought it was so cheesy. Now, I know it will break my heart if I ever have to hear it for a final time. I'm so sorry for your loss, Liberty.
