heads or tails...

I have had a rough few days and I know others who have a much harder few days than I can imagine. Like Annelle from Steel Magnolias, I have "tried very hard to make heads or tails" of the loss that my good friend is facing. I have read countless messages, fielded phone calls and texts and had conversations with people who are working hard to come to an understanding of how this can happen. We have all been unsuccessful.

The thing I have taken from this is that love is the only thing in this life that matters. The love for those in our lives make things like this survivable. I had to pass that love on from afar and vicariously through my sister and others who promised to hug when my arms were not long enough. I think that the message was translated and I look forward to being there in a few weeks.
