tw: death
I found out a couple hours ago a close family friend died in a house fire. She happened to be an amazing singer/songwriter.
She was instrumental in helping me get through my brother's accident/death and the trauma that followed, when she stayed at our house for a month the following year. She taught me to play the guitar and we would make up the silliest songs, and play her songs, and... I'm just absolutely devastated. I got the text from my uncle and just collapsed. The girls have never seen me lose it like that. I'm just... I don't even know how to put it into words, this gaping hole in my heart.
Rest in peace, Jill. You will be so missed. Thank you for everything you did for that eight year old girl twenty five years ago, and ever since.
