Lately, we’ve all learned that reality can become very surreal—but in the end there’s always something that grounds you. For me, it’s my kids: Erin, who’s just in the next room, and Brendan, who’s on the other side of the planet. Jarrod and Sofi, who spend their time between Madrid and Los Angeles, and Joelle and Nathan, who divide their time between Northern and Southern California. Yet no matter the distance, no matter what world events come between us, they’re always close. Thank you for reminding me what matters! I love you from the bottom of my heart to the center of the universe.
