I sit and listen to my favorite sound as I bid good-bye to this day…my two sons playing their guitars and singing the songs they have written, as their voices blend in harmonious unity. I am reminded of the frustrations of the day, the limiting issues that I cannot control and the stifling circumstances that I cannot fix. But right now, here in this moment, I am content.
Tomorrow will bring with it its own new set of issues and circumstances and I will once again attempt to balance the reality of present-day with plans for our future tomorrows, along the way finding quiet joy as I relish the beauty of my family. I am blessed.
life…just saying.
Jeana, That is so very sad. There can be nothing harder than saying good-bye to your child. It does indeed put things into perspective. My heart and prayers go out to this family and to you because you care so deelply.
Today, our friends buried their 11 year old daughter… I think you recently said what I’m thinking, “Perspective is everything.” <>< Luke 12:34
