Oof this hit me in the feels. We lost a family member in the Uk and zoom funerals are a special kind of hell. Just one of a million small sadnesses in 2021.

Sending love to you and yours - 2022 let’s do this eh? X

Thank you Emily. I have two friends who have lost sons in untimely deaths this year, both young men I knew and loved as children and who I’ve kept in contact as they grew up in different countries. Your words will help me write those hard letters to my friends their parents, trying to acknowledge their sadness. I can’t tell them it will get easier. But I can remind them how loved their sons were. Very best wishes to you for 2022. Lynn
