...and we get it.

I'm honored you're sharing the cruddy stuff with us, too. It's what friends, neighbors, community members are for.

Do remember, though, that feelings can change from day to day, if you just hang on. No big turnarounds, necessarily, but if you just hang on, one day at a time, at some point you'll be able to look back and say "Better now than it was then."

And we'll be here for you each day, too.

lovingly,
Bright
