Amongst all the big, unanswerable questions of life and death and God; amidst the tears and fears and sorrow...
...despite the ever-present grief, once again I must learn to spread my wings.
A new chapter and a new journey await. So I gather my courage - along with my treasured memories - and slowly venture forth...
No matter the challenges or obstacles, I must navigate this new, bewildering territory. Perhaps I'll have to create my own map. It seems the trick is to keep moving forward.
Truly I am blessed to have a wonderful family and so many good friends. Thank you for your thoughtful and comforting messages, cards, phone calls, flowers and visits. Thank you for keeping the light burning through even the darkest days and nights. Merci bien!
