Lily, I rode the merry-go-round today. I rode on a carousel! I don’t think I’ve done that since . . . since I was a tiny boy. It went so fast, I felt dizzy. I want to do it again. I wish you had been there too. I’ve been so sad these past few months. And then when Jeff left, I felt like a big ball of regret, knotted up with thoughts of what I could have done differently and what I had lost.

But doing this treasure hunt with Claudia, it’s like I’m slowly untangling myself, finding the joy in . . .

Ugh, I sound like a greeting card. A sappy greeting card! On the other hand, if I’m feeling better, who cares what I sound like?!

Love you, Lily.
