Rewriting the last three years -- Do you remember life in December of 2019? This time three years ago. We hear rumblings of a virus in other parts of the world but it feels like a headline that can be ignored. Life continues on.

As someone who has had a front row seat to your journey, it warms my heart for you to say that "love" was there all along. There was such depth and clarity in this piece. We all lived the pandemic differently. Some folks will struggle to see the hope and resiliency that you speak of. Articles will be written for years about what we did and didn't learn. But I want to believe and live in a way that agrees with the reality that "love" is with us all the time.
