Your essay so eloquently expresses the way I've changed my journey over the last 3 years since my father's passing. I admire your ability to reflect and adjust.

Sean, I just finished reading Dr. Peter Attia’s book “Outlive“… Your piece reminded me of a chapter that I’ve listened to, and read a couple times, his last chapter on emotional health. He says you want to be remembered not for your Résumé CV but for your Eulogy CV. And we should all keep an eye on that no matter what trials and tribulations we go through. Your reference to people looking through your shoebox of favorite photos is a read-across to what Dr. Attia says in his book. Merry Christmas! And Happy Holidays to you and your family.

Indeed, Al and St Paul in one piece is deft. Yes, in addition to hard times coming, will be more loss. And more birth, and thus the opportunity for the miracle you speak of. Thanks for the reminder. Onward.
