Thank you Laura, we're both so lucky to be able to continue with our words and theirs.

So beautiful, thank you for sharing. I too have found more peace in moving forward with my continued connection to Matt on the other side. He also inspired me to write, and I wouldn’t be here on Substack without him. I love the story of the wren; I find that birds are such wonderful messengers.

Apart from all its other qualities, this post reminds us of the importance of rigorous and fearless journalism -- and journalists. I also love the ending, the closing on a quiet yet deeply meaningful image.

Thank you Emily. As time goes by and crushing sorrow slightly softens other feelings, like purpose emerge.

How are you and your family?

We are all well, thank you, Barbara. I'm glad that things are becoming a little easier for you. I continue to gain so much inspiration and understanding from your honest chronicling of your experiences.
