dear 2013,
you ran the gamut this past 365 days.
you showed us grace and devastation.
you handed us the grandest challenge to date as a family,
yet you surrounded us by loved ones that shouldered the heaviness of the load.
it is tempting to focus on the deepness of the loss,
yet learning to wade through the sad has taught me to bask in the simplest of joys.
it has taught me to be more alive-
setting aside the comfort of watching life happen around me & actively participating in daily adventures
laughing-crying-loving-living with wild abandon.
2013, i truly don't want another year like you,
but i am thankful for the hard lessons you have taught.
sincerely.

dear pjm.
i did it...almost.
mid-january marks one year of this chapter.
you continue to press me to do hard things,
but you have taught me i am strong in conviction & honor.
you have given me a voice i never knew i had.
miss you, handsome.
