This is what not giving up looks like.
I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Libraries are great for the books, sure, but it's also nice to have a quiet and safe space to sit and think- a place where no one is trying to sell you anything.

*Steps on to archivist soapbox, taps microphone*
The biggest lie you can tell yourself is "I'll remember."
No. You won't.
Write down/add metadata about who/what/where/when. Put a year on EVERYTHING.
Now is a great time to group project this with family!

If you need a New Year’s resolution, one idea is getting a library card! Venturing into your local library and checking out books to your heart’s content is magical, and the Libby app is the cherry on top. 💫
