Come in out of the sun.

You don't have to explain anything here. You don't have to be strong, or okay. You made it to the shade. That's enough for now. Set it down.

Remember, your situation does not get the last word. Rest can find you before you have the strength to look for it. Stay as long as you need. There's more here than the ache you walked in with.

The shade stays. Come back whenever you need it.
