….. I lost the ability to lie that hope, possibility, and optimism existed. And even though I always knew they never did… but over time, sometimes I hope there is a little bit of doubt left to say I’m wrong. I’m quoting part of what you wrote because I haven’t figured out how to tag people yet... So, this is long, but it’s really, really well written. It touched me, not just because your story is touching, but because this is the first time I’ve ever read something that I felt I could relate to with my relationship with Coleman. You know how you read a story, watch a film, and you feel for the characters, but you can’t fully identify? This is the first time I’ve read something here or elsewhere and I could truly identify. It brought me to tears. I know exactly what you mean, the effort it takes to touch someone with what little strength you have, how much more it matters. I know what it means to hug someone and have them hug you back and realize you don’t have to have physical strength to feel safe or make someone else feel that way. Coleman died in January of 2017 and part of why it’s so hard to talk about him is because I feel like no one really understands what a connection like that is worth, how intimate stillness can be, how valuable a touch so light you have to concentrate to feel it can be. If you feel comfortable, I would really like to talk to you. So, if you want to, please send me a PM. Either way, thank you for sharing this. <3

Thank you, Green, so much for mentioning this, I also knew he had passed away, but I was lazy to look for this specific post, maybe just because I felt so bad about it at the time.

These guys are amazing writers. I trust their stories are true but if they were not I’d still be hooked. (new member spending some time catching up)
