Soon, Very soon. I will be glad to see you, sweet friend.
For the first time in what seems like an eternity, I see things this morning. I see the trees on the hill, wind whipping their branches all crazy like. I see the little birds that Bill loved to feed scratching on the patio. I see a crow and a bald eagle chasing each other (who will win that battle?). I see a mess of bark dust on the path where the chickens have been digging. I see a little wisp of cloud coming up out of the river, never keeping the same form. I see a "v" of geese flying overhead. I see Madeline get in her car and drive off to work for the day. I see Sarah sprawled out on the bed, finger still in her mouth. I see Jon and Jack beginning to move about in their beds. I see buds on the trees and the snowdrops beginning to bloom. I see life. My life, their life. Like that cloud evaporating off the river, it doesn't keep the same form for long. Always changing, but also always moving.

I'm so grateful to you for writing so we can get a glimpse of your heart. I have no inkling of what you're going through now, but I can understand the "seeing again" phase of grief. You're in my heart and prayers throughout every day and night. I don't like knowing that life can change this completely. But I do like knowing we have each other for when it does.
Hugs, Mollie
