In 2024 was and is the hardest year for me bc the year prior I lost my best friend Satira Ragland. She went to sleep and never woke up. I told her everything and she knew when anything was wrong or when anything was bothering me. I just miss her so much bc I don’t have no one to talk to or anything. She was the true definition of a friend. Grief hurts…. Healing is hard….
I made this chair to remind me of her and it sits on my bookshelf. Every time I would say I was going to quit my small business she would be the one to make sure I keep going that is why I keep it next to my work station so I can look over at her picture and remember to keep going.

Satira Ragland was more than just a friend; she was a confidant and support system for the author, especially when times got tough. As a reminder of her unwavering encouragement, a special chair now sits in the author's workspace, symbolizing the strength she offered in moments of doubt.
