December has indeed been a month of long, dark nights. I am happy, for so many reasons, to be adding daylight back to our lives in tiny increments. I gave up on posting for a while because I just could not put into words all the things I needed to say.
William's brother, Jim, passed away unexpectedly last week. In the midst of our personal mourning, the tragedy in Newtown, CT.
