Through The Darkness

It’s something of a dark day today, little sweetheart. Between today and the 19th next week are the days when both my father and our friend Curt died.

Their anniversaries come around each year so close to one another and I’m reminded how I’ve read that, even this personal history notwithstanding, these late weeks of January post-holidays are the darkest and most dispiriting for many many people. Somehow, they weigh on us more and it’s harder to find and embrace the light, the hope and faith that we need to sustain us and keep us going.

So, my little sweetheart, mindful of that I ask… please be near me, won’t you? I so need your presence and guidance. Help me keep my head up and do our work with vigor and love. As you ever do.

So grateful, always…
