Good morning my DU family,

Dunc has a wonderfully human post up this morning that caught a moment I could hardly imagine and yet find myself understanding completely.

To be apart for thirty years is so heartbreaking, and the efforts required to make that reunion work will be challenging, much like the societal and technological changes he will have to adjust to.

What a poignant lesson in simple humanity and how important it is for us to feel and be connected to one another in meaningful ways.

Thanks Dunc, what a beautiful reminder that all of us simply deserve to be, and instead of being judged for being, to be celebrated.

Please give us a day filled with opportunities to celebrate those special and yet simple moments that bond us in ways that can't be replaced.

Have a wonderfully simple day DU.
Love, John
