I'm feeling a little overwhelmed tonight. By grief, surfacing as it does from its low, deep running from time to time. But also gratitude. I am so blessed. By beauty and family and my faith and by stories and words, small kindnesses and surprising peace and...I can't even count them, they are so many. I'm sad and yet so brimful of joy that my heart hurts. It's a feeling I'm sure won't last, but I think I'll try to carry the memory of it with me for as long as I can.
