My love: I know you are grieving today. And because I do not want a careless word to amplify that grief, please know I write these words not for you, but for me — who grieves with you. Oh, my love. I am so sorry. If I had any control over this world, I would spend it all carrying your grief for you. Since I cannot alleviate that burden, I hope you find some measure of solace in knowing that you do not grieve alone. That grief and present circumstances may feel isolating, but nothing can be further from the truth. Together. We all grieve together. I counsel you to sit with that grief for a time. Because what we all grieve is a future that might have been, forcing oneself to remain present will be difficult. Your body will ache to act, to soothe, to rationalize away. Don’t let it. Despite our misgivings about it, nothing can stop the future. Let us prepare ourselves for it, not hasten it. When the future arrives, we will be ready to greet it, I have no greater certainty in this life. My love for you endures. It stands stalwart against the crashing tides of fortune as it ever has. Some things will change. That never will. Yours always, Andr3w
