Like a crack in a mug, little by little, over time the tangible strands that tie us to life with Lev get broken, never to be restored.
This mug was bought for Tony when I was out to brunch with Jaal and Lev, many many moons ago.
It is can still be used but not for long. We are building and continuing a life without Lev, and he deserved to be in it.
