This is beautiful. When you introduced me to DiAnn, I didn’t know she was your mom, and that sorta made me tear up reading this. What a beautiful tribute of her here.
Wonderful piece, Drew! I love this line: “Before we get to hope, we have to accept the darkness.” How true and difficult and beautiful all at the same time. Thanks for pointing us to the hope of Jesus!
I love this, Drew! I love how real and raw this piece is. Living in the tension of darkness and hope is a difficult thing to do. Praise God that He meets us there every day.
Beautiful, Drew. Thanks for sharing. Happy Christmas to you and the whole Brown family.
Thank you so much for those kind words, Hayley! Merry Christmas to you and your family as well!

My mom is the best :)
Thank you for reading!
You've been missed around Substack, Drew! And this is the reason why. I love your meaningful and hopeful words!
Sarah, wow, thank you! It's easy to think no one will notice when you don't post, so it's nice to receive your words. I'm grateful for you on here!
Beautiful.
Paige! Thank you! Merry Christmas!

Sophie! Thank you for your kind words, and amen to it being true and difficult and beautiful. Merry Christmas!
Great message. This gives hope in the midst of darkness. So many of us now are questioning our basic beliefs. Love the quote from Berry.
Thank you so much Mr. Moran. I loved that Berry quote as soon as I heard it and knew I needed to write about it. Merry Christmas!
I love this, Drew! I love how real and raw this piece is. Living in the tension of darkness and hope is a difficult thing to do. Praise God that He meets us there every day.
Amen, friend. Thank you!
You have beautifully summed up why this is my favorite Christmas hymn
