Grief & Ice Cream

When my wife of 18 years died in 2016, I became a single father missing the love of my life, and also had to learn how to raise two girls (13-17 at the time) on my own.

We all talked about different aspects of my wife but shortly, it transformed into a “who meant more to her” fest.
