Today I go to bed grateful for…
the beautiful bright light who chose me to be her mama – her smiles, her hugs, the sound of her laughter, her growth, the way her brain works, her love
the kindness of friends and neighbors – a dog walked, a meal delivered, a call and an email to check in
the gifts of grief – deepened by conversation with a woman who knows them well
the chance to move my body – and the vision that I will one day look graceful while hooping
the opportunity to experience life in all its fullness, despite its sadness, because of its joy
Today I go to bed. Tomorrow I will wake up. There will be more to be grateful for.
Your post made me smile… gave me hope… (((hugs)))
And we are grateful for you, Alana……for your words and for your graciousness in sharing your grief and your honesty. May tomorrow bring you sunshine that lights up Ada’s hair and continues to remind you of the amazing amount of love you bring to the world.
