December 2021 – A Thank You

A poem, as we enter the darker days of winter, holding the suffering of so many.

Blessed are you

who bear the light

in unbearable times,

who testify

to its endurance

amid the unendurable,

who bear witness

to its persistence

when everything seems

in shadow

and grief.

Blessed are you

in whom

the light lives,

in whom

the brightness blazes—

your heart

a chapel,

an altar where

in the deepest night

can be seen

the fire that

shines forth in you

in unaccountable faith,

in stubborn hope,

in love that illumines

every broken thing

it finds.

-Jan Richardson

We are so grateful for our medical community and the kindness and care you bring forth every day.

Yours,

Anita and Leslie
