A searing, and soothing, piece--thank you for sharing the vulnerability of the now. I feel your loss and longing for a different set of cards; impermanence is the hardest of searing lessons. Celebrated resilience and new journeys are the soothing cards yet to come. Turn the page and write your next chapter.
