Hurts my heart to read of such agony and pain for you Adele.

The paper chain is beautiful and I love imagining you, using your incredible creative spirit to deck the halls, and create something beautiful like you have always done.

Love you so much ♥️

Adele- Happy belated 50th birthday. And I agree: winter also has my heart. Though summer has my soul. 🙏

I understand so well what it means to just get from moment to moment. More than once in the past two and half years I have turned to Goethe’s line “I can’t go on. I’ll go on.” And I did. I went on. And while I am still struggling in many ways and still learning how to manage this new life, I am far out of those dark, desperate depths. It is so hard to always have faith that healing is happening and that recovery is possible, but I do believe it is. Go on. 🤍

Love your imagery in this entry. So beautiful from such a talented writer. I love each segment you write. This reminds me of the chain I made almost 32 years ago when I was in the Navy. Please keep writing your beautiful words.

❤️,

Dad
