As we approach the one-year mark since our accident, the memories resurfacing in my mind feel overwhelming. I'm grateful that by God's grace, we survived the crash. It has brought us closer together and heightened our empathy towards our loved ones.

Grateful for your presence today (as well as your wife's presence).

You gave me a lot to think about regarding the twinned experiences of pain and grief. Not only did you bring to remembrance my own experiences -- and thank you for that note about shame! -- you remind me of my part in being with friends and loved ones who are in pain and feeling grief in that pain.

May I be more mindful when I sit with them and be a better, more understanding and empathetic comfort.

Thank you for thinking about this and writing it for us to read.
