Oh Mary, I'm so very sorry about your mom. I've just read your most recent post and realised that I had missed this one. I'm sending you so much love. ❤️
Today I was browsing at used furniture at a habitat for humanity store. A woman approached me and began to share that there was another location with an even bigger inventory. I was surprised with her taking the time to share this tidbit of information, when she could’ve easily walked by and continued her own shopping! That was my “sisterhood” moment. I miss you, Mary, and thinking about you.
"Sisterhood Moment" Yes!! Taking time to share, to connect, to share in the joys and the sorrows. Thank you, sweet Jocelind. I miss you too and we will share that warm cup of tea. The numbness is wearing off and I kind of wish it didn't, because now the great sadness is here.
The bank women and publication of your book are gifts in the midst of your immense sadness. The beauty and the grief held in the palm of one hand. Sending you comfort and congratulations.
Mary, sending you comfort and condolences as you walk through the grief over the loss of your Mom. May you be uplifted by those who come into your life on any given day. I look forward to purchasing your book when it is available. Take care.
Mary, thank you! "Yes" to being "uplifted by those who come into your life on any given day." The bank women and their joy shared with me, is one of my favorite life moments.
I feel two emotions simultaneously when reading this piece - sadness for what you're going through with the loss of your mom, and happiness at your upcoming publication. Life is such a balancing act!
Isn't it? (a balancing act) Small things hit me...like Mom never being able to experience another Spring again. Then, I remember how pleased she would be at my pursuing my writing dreams. Thank you Wendy, for reading my piece.

Rebecca, thank you! Yes, it's a really weird time...like moving through Jello.

Thank you, Gina! Yes, "beauty and grief in one hand." I hold the smiles of the bank women in my heart. What a gift to celebrate others.
