I can feel your appreciation for those sweet days of firsts again. The music of an amazing artist and the music of children playing together again, equally transcendent, made even sweeter by the pain of loss. Beautiful poem!

I LOVE so much about this. Thank you for the gift of your vulnerability. I am sitting with the pain of losing your dad after having to say NO to his posts. I had a similar experience with my mom. Not ideal. But necessary. And so, so painful.

My word for 2025 is, I think, going to be BOTH. I keep seeing the word everywhere, and again here in your writing.

Oh, I love that you're going to take that word for 2024! I can see the potential for some rich meaning in there.
