Robbie, thank you so much. It has been a long time since our comparative studies program, which I enjoyed and that really helped me learn to write better. I like seeing your published poems and essays!
What a poignant story of suffering! Having lost our son 2 years ago, I felt deeply the meaning of Candice's experience and insights. After meditating in reflection for a few minutes, my heart turned to the tens of thousands of babies, children, and their mothers who have been bombed to pieces, or are still alive in pain and suffering in the rubble of death and destruction throughout Gaza. Our grief and empathy will hopefully provoke us to move from sorrow to action, as individuals and as a society.
Thank you so much for reading it and for the supportive feedback. I feel for you in the loss of your son. I think you know my brother-in-law Doug Wendt.
When I wrote a letter to God, I was processing my pain over news about shootings. It's true now we're all facing the ugliness of war and its impact on children. Lately each day as I go to work, I see encamped protestors demanding those with power and influence help prevent further violence. There is a lot to be said for their tenacity, vision, humility, and love.
This is beautiful, Candice. So good to read your voice! Prayers for you and yours.
