Sarah, my heart goes out to you and your entire astonishing family. Tragic.
I love Mark's In Sight of Land painting AND the Gift From the Sea excerpt - “When you love someone, you do not love them all the time, in exactly the same way, from moment to moment. It is an impossibility. It is even a lie to pretend to. And yet this is exactly what most of us demand. We have so little faith in the ebb and flow of life, of love, of relationships."
Thanks, Janet. I love Anne Morrow Lindbergh’s writing. Always have. I appreciate your note. It has been a difficult time - especially for my brother (Chris’ Dad) and my boys, who were very close to him. A total shock and so tragic and wrong somehow. Hope all is well with you. ❤️
Very true about Anne Morrow Lindbergh. I have always loved her writing. Her diary, Hour of Gold, Hour of Lead is wonderful. I highly recommend reading it.

Sarah, I thoroughly enjoyed reading your thoughts, about being a part of a large family, life, death and the Lindburghs. I particularly loved reading about Anne's achievements, in spite of misfortunes, that came into her life. Such an incredible woman! I am so sorry for the recent passing of your young nephew.😢 Please accept my condolences.
Thank you so much, Pam. It is an incomprehensible loss. So unnecessary, sudden, unexplained. The sea is a companion in our lives now. We love our Chester life. Feels like we magically manifested it somehow. But really what happened is that we made a choice. Thank you again for responding. Means a lot when people do. ❤️

Sending a virtual hug!

Sarah and Mark, I'm so sorry to read this news. Sending love and light to you and all your family. L
Thanks, Laura. It has been a difficult time. We’re headed to Metis tomorrow for two weeks. Might we see you? Hope all is well.
First weekend of August we arrive. I'll do dinner chez nous. xoxoxo
Oh no, we’ll be gone by then. Shirt visit this time. Sorry to miss you as I’ve been thinking about you and want to do a podcast convo on Substack.
Oh no. OK, yes. We will be in touch. Take good care of yourselves. xx
I’m very sorry that we will miss you too Laura. You and Peter must come for a long weekend in the Fall we will spoil you. X
In the midst of your loss Sarah you write so movingly. Thinking of you and your family at this very sad time.
Anne Lindbergh’s life sounds complex and deeply painful, yet what an inspiration for us all!

Thanks Maureen for your kind words of support.
Thinking of you and your family. What an incredible post. ❤️
Thank you very much, Anne. I appreciate knowing when readers like a post.❤️
Sarah, losing a loved one at any age is a challenge but gone at your nephew’s age is incomprehensible. Deepest sympathy.
My copy of Gift From the Sea was loaned long ago and never returned. I’m ordering a new one immediately.
I have walked miles up and down the beaches of the Atlantic. My shells are like jewels to me.
My spirits soar whenever I touch the sand and move to the edge. The noise, the seabirds and the vastness calm my anxious self. Always.
I envy you and Mark on this new journey in Chester.
