Author's note: The feeling this short and lively chapter gives me holds a place in my heart. This is one of the moments in Elvis' and his family's life, I'm sure, brought them a lot of joy. Thinking back on their life and the struggles they endured, I can only imagine how much it meant to them.
What sort of feelings did this chapter give you?
Have any of you been to Graceland? I know that would be a dream come true, but I live all the way over in Norway, so I'm not sure if I'll ever get to go there.
Many love to imagine the world of books in their way, but there's images of Graceland down below. I have myself described and imagined the stairs leading up to the house far longer.
More and more, my happiness increases, thinking of sharing the rest of this book with you. We have for sure passed a couple of milestones—June ending and the era of Graceland beginning.
Now what? A whole lot, and I'm delighted for the continuation of Sal and Elvis' journey 🦋 And I can promise you; this is the better half of Girl Of Mine.
