I remember coming across their poetry and quotes on Pinterest and saving them to every relevant board I could because of how deeply I felt every single word, in my bones and in my soul. And then one day randomly I came across your account on Instagram and saw the posts. I went to youtube to watch every video of them I could find, every poem. I couldn't get through most of them because I started crying so hard. It's so strange how deeply I can feel about a person I don't even know, and how deeply they can make a person feel things even from beyond life. I am glad to have their poetry in my life. They are truly a magical being 🩷
400 eye lashes, 400 wishes! Meg, my deepest gratitude for sharing Andrea in this way. I’ve added more stretch marks to my heart. Loving care to you both. 💕🙌🏼💕
Perhaps one of the best Commencement Addresses, if not talks, I've ever listened to in my entire 60 years of living. Thank you for sharing this love filled message with the world.
Gosh. This has floored me. In a good way. Andreas words are medicine and wisdom and hope and humour and guidelines to live by. I work in suicide prevention and think there is so much here that could help those who are struggling to choose life. Thank you for sharing Meg. Beauty in abundance.
Thank you for sharing Andrea with us Meg. Their words are always so generous, passionate and cut to the core of what is true. I am a better person for hearing Andrea's words and taking their cue to find awe in everything. To chrysalis tears and goosebumps x
Thank you, Megan. I needed to hear their words today as I struggle with a cancer diagnosis, and the way forward.
There is so much wisdom crammed into those 16 minutes. I will listen again and take notes. Chrysalis tears, and 400 wishes, and all that matters became all that matters. Thank you for leaving stretch marks on my heart ♥️
What a profound beautiful gift to listen to Andrea's wisdom and heart. At any age, they have so much to teach us. Listening is the way forward. Much love and gratitude.
Thank you so much for sharing this Meg! It means so much. I use to see Andrea on the basketball court when my rival school team in the tiny town next door used to play against them throughout my school years (they were way outta my league in basketball). I actually remember trying to guard Andrea man to man!
I was lucky enough to meet them again in line for signing after one of their shows in Chapel Hill.
My husband and I created a little memorial to Andrea last summer when we were home visiting. It’s at the end of Steamboat St in Calais, if you ever end up there. Sending so much love to you!
Meg: I have saved this video to watch again and again as I live thru my days with a medical condition that forces me to lay flat 99% of my waking hours.
Thank you for keeping Andrea's words alive, and thank you thank you thank you for putting your words into the world, too, Meg.🙏🏼
It feels so strange to tell a total stranger how much the love of THEIR life has meant to me, or to describe the grief that's continuously broken my own heart open over the loss of someone I never met, but if anyone ever embodied the meaning of "we are all one," it was/is Andrea. I'm so grateful to have been able to get to "know" you better through all of this, in your own right.

Ditto to Thales comment !!!!
Thank you 💜
I wish this had been my high school commencement speech. I’m still growing at age 68, thanks to people like Andrea. ⚡️
Me too, ME TOO, Sandra. ❤️🔥

I think it’s so important to the new world being born to recognize and embrace the continuity between life and (alleged) death.
You and Andrea - present tense - are ambassadors of that new world.
I kinda detest when people use the phrase “I bow to you,” but…I do. 🙏🏻
Thank you, always.

And I have never heard a better commencement speech!!!!
Fellow Mainer and have so much love for Andrea and Meg. If I make the trek from Bangor to Calais I'll surely check out that memorial. 🌈✨️❤️
Something to aspire to daily: May I die with a heart full of stretch marks…. 💗. Thank you so much for sharing this, Megan.
Andrea, forever.
What a lucky class of graduates was ushered into adulthood with these amazing words. 🩵🕊️
Meg: I have saved this video to watch again and again as I live thru my days with a medical condition that forces me to lay flat 99% of my waking hours.
This means more than words can express.
❤️🩹
Teyani, gentle and loving care to you. May Andrea wash over you in only the ways they can. Meg too! 💜💐

After having had a good long cry and having started a letter to Andrea, I can finally say Thankyou for sharing this Meg.
P.s - I just graduated so I’m going to take this one personally 🫀
