So Sorry To Hear

I’m tired of writing “So sorry to hear…”

Moms. Dads. Grandparents. Children.

Distant friends. And not so distant.

Husbands. Wives. Friends.

Everywhere we turn, it’s like a great wave of grieving.

So sorry to hear. Thinking of you. Sending you the best.

All meant. All impossible to make as meaningful as it should be.

It’s been a forever long year, a last year for too many.

So hold on tight to your loved ones. Hold on.
