To any and all who are reading this right now: thank you. Thank you for your loyal readership throughout the season. Thank you for sharing in the joys and sorrows of 2016. I know last night was hard for many of us, but LL will keep on churning like we always do. This is a community I'm beyond thankful to be a part of, and if you're reading this (whether or not we've ever interacted) you've been a piece of that joy. Onto the future!
