I couldn't let myself read this, Katie, as well written and heart felt as it is. I only skimmed it, but I did throw up a prayer for you and Bruce. We had a very strange holiday season too from Thanksgiving to New Year's Day, and I don't want to write about it, but the whole world had a strange holiday season this year, huh? So why shouldn't we too? "Throw up a prayer," what a blithe and, even, ugly metaphor. It either sounds nearly uncaring or literally like vomit. It was neither, Dear Sister . . . but it just was.

I don't say, "Happy New Year!" I pray, "May God richly bless us all in Him throughout this coming Year of Our Lord Two Thousand Twenty-Four." There's a difference, huh? The latter is better. Isn't it?

I really appreciate your vulnerability in this piece. I was dealing with some depression this Christmas.
