Some people make me feel angry, some people make me cry all day long.” This year is different – Billie feel grateful: “Grief has infused my life with a sense of appreciation I never had before. It makes me enjoy every moment of joy as if it were my last.” Miss you Carrie every day, but “the cliché is also true – she is with me every day.”
