Well said, Rob. I think I was about 25 when I realized I'd never get it all done; acceptance of that came much later. We can't do it all, but by not giving up, by persevering, we can hold our heads up and serve as an inspiration to others. You, Rob, do that for us. Thanks. Wishing you and Tammy a wonderful year in 2026.
Glenn, Thank you for the kind words. I’ll keep on keeping on as long as I am able. And then, when I am not able, I’ll lean on others so I can keep going anyway.
It has been a crushing December as I lost my only sibling to a short bout with aggressive cancer early in the month.
But you are quite right - there was a lot of good that happened in 2025 as well. Even when many things around us look blatantly selfish and sometimes evil, there are ways to be kind, every single day. For me, that is a good thing to focus on.
Best to you both - - I hope to get back to reading more of your work sometime soon. You are certainly a part of my "mental community"!!!
We send you our deepest regards and sympathies. I knew that you were entering a care-taking phase, but this was frighteningly quick. We both recognize that there is nothing we can say or do that will alleviate the pain that comes with loss. But we hope you can find some solace that comes with the bittersweet replay of shared memories.
