I wake early. I always do. In the dark winter, it's my favorite time of day. Against all evidence, morning gives reason to hope.
Thank you for your messages of condolence and support. These help more than you know.

A star in the dark... Hoping that good things dawn for you and yours this year.

May you all find a star in the dark at Christmas, Laura--have thought of you and yours often of late.
Pax tecum.

I've thought about you a lot these last few weeks, wishing there were a way to help. I'm glad the morning sunrise is there for you every day, even if far away friends can't be.

Beautiful, Laura. May you be surrounded by family and love during these last days of 2011 and into the new year.
