Upon This Therme

Little sweetheart, surely I’ve said this before within these pages and further echoing what I said the other day about your enduring goodness, I must repeat it here.

The news is so troubling. I can’t avoid it entirely and it is of some import to know a bit of what’s going on but to also know when to stop taking in so much awfulness because it can drive one to despair.

So, to your goodness and… watching The West Wing.

Some might think that’s an obvious haven, a somewhat utopian vision of a good government to retreat to in fiction when the real life one we’re having to endure is as reprehensible as it is. But I have a deeper connection because you gave it to me, You brought West Wing to me, famously lending me the Serafin box set of the first four seasons and proudly telling your mother you had done just that. Just hearing the theme sing each night brings me to tears because it so perfect conjures you and, as I say in a ringing refrain - your enduring goodness. How I love you!

Please help and guide me today and every day, little sweetheart.

With all my love forever.
