This is more than a love note. It’s a declaration of survival - of tenderness reclaimed, of heartbreak dignified by humour and light. What you’ve written isn’t about loss, it’s about re-entry into a softer orbit, where even broken arrows and failed timelines are gently folded into a new kind of mythology - one where joy is the true fertility.

You’re right. In this economy, none of us can afford bad omens. So we reframe them. We make shrines out of the shards. And we don’t apologise for the corny, the hopeful, the wildly romantic belief that maybe - just maybe - something good is still inbound.

To name the egg was holy. To stop trying was heroic. And to write this? A gift. May everyone find their Francois. Or their own heartbeat. Whichever comes first.
