We received so many beautiful messages from people who knew Dex. These touched us more than we could ever express in words.
I will be taking a break from work and social media--trying to figure out what life looks like now that we are a family of 3. We will heal the best we can and carry on. Our darling Dex would have wanted it that way.
Much Love, Dana.
