What an amazing post.
I’d like to say something interesting about the mad crazy start of the holiday season a whole two-and-a-half months before Christmas, but I don’t know what that would be except for the usual grousing.

Tersia…I don’t know what to say. I am honored. And after a dispiriting writing class last night (you’d think nothing would “dispirit” me since Philip died, but I can’t seem to separate what I write from him, if you know what I mean), what a welcome thing to wake up to.
Thank you; so much love to you, especially at this time of year.
