...This is the solstice, the still point
of the sun, its cusp and midnight,
the year’s threshold
and unlocking, where the past
lets go and becomes the future; - Margaret Atwood
We made it.  I woke up today, and thanked God. I have made it through the darkest day. Literally in metaphorically. The darkness is behind us. The light is ahead of us, each day a little brighter.
