Hi there,

I’m reaching out with a quiet hope in my heart. These days are heavy, and my family is living through a reality filled with uncertainty—but I’m still here, doing my best to hold on and keep going.

If you have a moment, please check out my pinned post.

A simple share could help it reach someone who might be able to make a difference.

If you’re able to give, even the smallest kindness can bring light into the darkest places.

Your time, your voice, your compassion — it all matters more than you know.

With deep gratitude,

@nadinfamily

Not wrong to go crazy when that happens. It's rare enough.

Here's a New Years adjacent poem from a book that started this whole frenzy of mine

It's a collection of poems from 1956 to 1968 by Leonard Cohen published way back in 1973. In February of '74 it was signed by someone called Angela Lee. This book was my dad's, he got it at a thrift store in Southern Ukraine somewhere in late 90s or early 2000s. He said he didn't understand any of Cohen's poetry and couldn't decipher it so he passed it on to me. He was studying to be an English teacher back then. If it weren't for this book I truly cannot imagine where I would be today and would I be at all.
