Happy things.
Sad things.
Bad things?
Good things.
Lovely things.
Lovely friends.
"Before my parents left, I remember being slightly alarmed by how indirectly news flowed to and from Clare, Da, Raphael, and even William. But now, this business of giving and receiving information through third parties makes sense. Or feels familiar."
I am slightly sad tonight. Happiness does not always counteract sadness. They exist, side by side, neither of them affecting the existence of the other.
I am sorry.
I am sorry for your sadness.
I am sorry for your tears.
I am sorry for the way your life seems to be falling apart around you
And the way I do not know how to reach out to you.
Despite how close, we are still so far away.
Despite wanting to bridge the gap
The gap remains.
I love you.
And I know that I don't say it enough, but it's true.
I love you.
We all do, you know.
Know that we love you.
Know that we care.
These tears, tonight, are for you.
And I pray that in your distress, you would reach out to the God of comfort who longs to bring you peace.
