The far shore...

We went for a long drive through the countryside of my town today. As we drove, you told me again of how much it reminded you of the place where you were born and raised, and we dreamt of what it would be like to live here together as a family. The uncertainty of the near future can sometimes be a daunting thing, especially just now, when so much feels as though it’s outside of our control. I think, though, that in the midst of a storm at sea, it’s the dream of a brighter shore that can carry us through. We are consummate dreamers, you and I, and just as diligent at working to make them come true. They will serve as a steady ship to see us to the other side of all this tumult, and our hands and hearts will steer us there. No matter what that far shore looks like, I’ll walk it hand in hand with you. I know that much is true. I love you, my sweet girl, with all my heart and soul.
