Hallie, my girl, I want to tell you a story about you and about your brother and about your mama. It’s a story about hope and fear and love and anxiety and gratitude. You see, my darling little lady, I’ve never been one to stay up on New Years Eve. But this time last year - moving from 2021 to 2022 - I felt a need to see 2021 into the history books and welcome 2022 with open, hopeful arms.
