For me, that moment started with a plane ticket to Europe. At the time, Luke and I were going through one of those emotionally strange seasons where grief and excitement exist together. We had recently lost our dog, and home felt heavy in a way that is difficult to explain unless you have lived it. Every room carried reminders. Every routine felt different.
