I do not have anything amazingly thoughtful to say today. No coherent message to help anyone heal. No insightful story to inspire peace of mind. No anecdote that brings levity to a day so many are hurting.
It’s been a year since Kobe and Gianna, John and Keri and Alyssa Altobelli, Sarah and Payton Chester, Christina Mauser, and Ara Zobayan left us. A year that, even without their passing, was one of the most difficult any of us have had to navigate. A pandemic. Protests for equality amid police brutality. A bitter election that only amplified a growing divide.
