Greeting, dear friends, and a long, dark stretch this has been. This interminable separation from my children. Where are our friends and visitors? Are we… okay? We are safe and well but loss takes many forms. Anxiety is real, sorrow lies deep, the toll is great. But we are here and we are grateful. Thank you, special ones, let’s keep those fires burning. The right kind ❤

Hi Sherri. I always love reading your pieces. Sad to learn that you have struggled with lockdowns and the other unsettlements of the last year. Would you still happen to have my email address or mobile number? If so, I would love to be in touch with you again. Julie x

Just starting to venture out and see our children a little at a time. It feels glorious. Missed a lot but sometimes just don’t know how much until it’s not there for awhile. Love and hugs, my friend.
