Why is tWitch’s Death Hitting Me So Hard?

(Trigger warning: suicide) I stopped and started writing this post several times. While I was not a regular follower of Stephen “tWitch” Boss, I knew him from the Ellen DeGeneres Show and from the videos that he and his wife Allison shared on social media of their fun choreographed dances.
