Beautiful and poignant and hopeful words. Thank you. Your grace in the midst of the hardship you are navigating is balm for my soul today. I am praying for respite and rest for you and your family as you walk through all this.

Your words remind me of the decorative tile a friend gave us that we have hanging in our living room. It says “Love is where compassion prevails and kindness rules.”

You bring to us the truth of how unexpected and fleeting this life can be. At a time when the “culture of belligerence “ has seemingly been normalized, your story checks our ethics and frustrated inclinations. We do have the choice of how we respond to life, every day, multiple times a day. Let’s choose loving kindness, on repeat. Kindness matters. Thank you for your thoughtful post.
