We went on the journey together to find Billy Dunne.
Or they were a band, and I was the groupie.

What did you think of theDaisy Jones & The Sixfinale?
Its my favorite episode.

They had a beautiful marriage, and now shes gone.
She gives Billy her blessing to go wherever that takes them, musically or romantically or both.
What are your thoughts on this choice?
People feel that a lot after watching the show, even more so.
Its a beautiful feature of hers that gravitates everyone to her.
As the show progressed, your clothes began to resemble Daisys more and more.

Its perfectly timed with her becoming a woman, her being a mother, and heading into her adulthood.
