Dawned on me today that I am the only member of my very large extended family (practically a tribe/religion) who has lived alone throughout this pandemic. And the loneliness of that - which I have not thought of once throughout this horror of a year - struck me a body blow

Darling Rabih! - hugs for you, for both of us. I don't know why I did not notice it before - then I did and I wept - maybe the tribal non-gathering of not-Christmas. Sending you special companionship, oh my theoretical husband! (I had forgotten that detail or why it came about)
