To everyone who's lost a loved one recently, I'm so sorry for your loss. I've seen friends and family get sucked through portals more times than I can count at this point -- and it's never easy to be the one left behind. You don't know where they're going or what they'll have to face; you wish you could jump in behind them and bring them back to safety, but you can't. You feel helpless.
Especially when you're the one sending your own child throughI've learned, though, that true love is stronger than any magic. It's stronger than whatever force is moving us around like chess pieces, and we
will find a way to win the game. Because when you love someone and they love you, nothing can keep you apart. You will always find each other. My family has proven that again and again. So please don't lose hope.
In the meantime, if you need someone to talk to, I'm always happy to listen. My husband, David, is worlds away right now, so I'm feeling that loss too. But I know we can get through this together.
