The year 2020 started off hopeful enough.
We’d welcomed our third son three days before Christmas 2019. The new year found me and my husband slogging through the newborn days bleary eyed, exhausted, but entirely enamored with our healthy baby boy.
In January, our family enjoyed “our” month as we always do. All of us except the baby – me, my husband and our two oldest sons – were born in January, my birthday last in the lineup. Our wedding anniversary is the third day of the month. For us, January sets a tone of love, celebration and unity that buoys us through the first part of the year, brightening even the grayest days of winter.
