I know this is difficult
Because it is difficult for me too.
I know you are scared
Because we are all scared.
I know you are tired
Because everything is harder.
I know you are frustrated
Because what should be simple is fiendishly complex.
I know you are wanting this to end
Because the end is not in sight.
I know you want to get back to normal
Because normal was awesome.
I know you are glad to be busy
Because the alternative sucks far worse.
I know you value your teams
Because we all feel the same way.
I know we can do this
Because we kick ass on a daily basis.
