This is such a beautiful piece of writing. I know Heidi will miss you because we talked about you not being there yesterday when I put her on the plane to Oregon, but..... you are so correct in saying "in our separation, our fondness grows". I truly hope that your current travels through Germany are fulfilling and inspiring and that you continue to create unforgettable memories.

Blake, this piece inspired me to finally reach out with a comment after being an informal follower of your work for the past 5-10 years. The theme resonates so deeply with me. I bought a few copies of your book Do What You Love or Die Trying this past year to give to my older kids who are coming of age. Turns out I needed your writing just as much as they did, cause reading that little volume was pivotal for my growth arc while healing from a complicated divorce. Thank you for sharing your heart and vision with the world. I’m here for it. 🤍
