9. Happy early birthday, William!

I'm so glad that you fought so hard to be here to celebrate it!

And thank you for what you wrote. We all need to be reminded to keep hoping. It's taken me weeks to get past the feeling of numbness, and the shock of the result of the election.

I have noticed that I now have moments of peace and moments of Hope. I know that that will build back up over time. We all need to allow ourselves the grace to get through this in whatever way works for us. Some people need a little more time.
Whatever, however, whenever we get there, we need to do what you said. Hope.
