On Monday 12/18/2023, I received a letter from my sister-in-law Jamie. She'd been sorting through "the box" of family photos that our mom had given to my brother Mike (which he never opened before he passed). Midway down that box, Jamie found a letter addressed to me from Kim. Jamie's letter to me simply said, "Here's a letter to you from Kim. I'm sorry."
I opened the enclosed envelope from Kim and, along with a brief note it contained the following poem.
May the love in your heart give you flight
And may you find in every dawn
the pure untarnished hope
that strengthens and brings your dreams to life.
Kimberly Wood
