Welcome, Jackson!

I'm an auntie again! Jackson was born at home early yesterday morning. Congrats to the proud parents! His uncle narrowly escaped having to share his birthday (happy birthday, bro). Here's a photo of the little bugger... so sweet.

A year ago today

A year ago today I woke up to snow in Shanghai.
A year ago today started like any other day.
A year ago today I went to a meeting about collaborating with a university.
A year ago today I learned about loss while sitting at a conference table in a room full of strangers.
A year ago today I cried in solitude with my friends around the world.

I've thought a lot about life, love, friendship and loss in the year that has followed. I've thanked someone/something/the powers that be a thousand times over for the friends, the family, the amazing people I have, and have had, in my life.

Today, I am again crying in solitude with my friends around the world.
Today, I miss you, Thor.
