This is our 53rd week a part. 53rd week since we have met together in person. 53 weeks. It’s a lot to take in, a lot to realize and recognize, a milestone that feels like a weight of grief and pain that we’d just rather ignore than truly understand. There is so much that has happened in this season that we need to mark, that we should mark, that we can bring into the light of the day and know that while the days have been dark, the light is still winning.
