Today I was sitting on the couch watching some preschool show with Safi. She laid her head on my lap, looked up at me and said, "I love you, Daddy." That's the first time she's ever spontaneously said that to me. It brightened my whole day.

I have taken some other steps to break through this morass of depression. I'll share those with you tomorrow. For today, Safi saying "I love you" was enough to break through the clouds and bring some sunshine into my mind.
