Thank you very much, @gabmr. You are kind. This story felt right. I didn't have to think about it. This year I have a lot of Christmas lights up, but that's because I want to feel happy, celebrate my family. We are all together, and I am grateful.
I hope 2025 treated you well, and I hope 2026 is even better. Keep writing. I love that you write pieces, always, from the heart.
A hug back :)
