Perhaps one did not want to be loved so much as to be understood

News

| Kordale Lewis, who went viral for a picture in which he and his then partner Kaleb Anthony tended to their daughters' hair, has died. He was 37.

The couple were interviewed by The Observer newspaper in 2017, in which Kordale talked about his mental health problems and difficult upbringing: “I just thought that I was going through shit and I would tell myself: ‘This will all be over one day,’ and keep on going.’”.

Here's a video that covers Kordale and Kaleb's story.
