It's been more than a week of loss and passing. It doesn't seem to stop. It just keeps coming. There are: friends younger than me; friends my age; friends and family members who are much older; and then, there are the 4-legged darlings that pull on my heartstrings as hard or harder than the rest.
Even when you know about a passing already, the sadness keeps coming.
Yesterday morning I woke to one post behind the other of: a 4-legged sweetie who belonged to one of my friends in France; and, a wonderful, loving, tear-inspiring post from a home health nurse who had taken care of both of the parents of a friend of mine. I just balled my eyes out.
This morning, this very dramatic spray of flowers from the garden in Cadrieu spoke to me. It reminded me of the joy each one brings to our lives and that even in their loss; we know that we wouldn't have traded knowing and loving them for anything in this world. They are our flowers in the dark.
Special love and embraces to those who are experiencing or continue to experience great loss.
Today, I send you flowers in the dark, with love.
