mending

The sun shone today. I am so grateful. David told me that he "thanks God that my best friends are therapists." (Me, too.) One thing about grief is that it "changes form" one friend reminded me today. It's true and I can work my way through, little by little, and thank God for times when I feel like I can breathe again. I am thankful for a good day when I feel like I can see and feel the sun.

Gladness and joy will overtake them,
and sorrow and sighing will flee away. Isaiah 35:10

I don't quite know where tomorrow will lead. Today, I feel very grateful for Baba. Today, I came closer to better.

When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze. Isaiah 43:2

I have received the most wonderful visits, phone calls, cards and notes and letters in the past week. I am so thankful for my friends. It's overwhelmingly comforting to have my friends walk along side me.

Closer to fine,
