Christmas in...West Virginia...

22 December 2022: Well, my mom tested positive for COVID today, so that means no Christmas trip to New York. She seems okay so far, which is what matters most--that she feels better soon and that my dad stays healthy. Still, it is strange to not be headed up there in a couple days. It's different than 2020, when we knew for a long time that it wasn't going to happen. 

Just an incredibly tough few weeks, after a tough and challenging semester. And a rough few years. 

Still, still, still, though: we (me, my family) are blessed. It's worth remembering when things are hard, not because it makes the hard stuff go away, but because it just true and there is comfort in that truth.
