    I’ve been really enjoying my visits to your blog. So much visual beauty and I love how your gentle, artistic spirit flows from your narrative. More than ever I feel like my life depends on these short, brief reprieves from the anguish that is always present as a deep pain in the center of my heart. Honestly, at times it feels utterly unbearable. I wake up each morning wondering how I will go on living without my son and somehow the answer is always that, well here I am. Somehow still moving and even occasionally feeling pangs of relief and laughter–like when Patrick’s two best friends came for a visit. There is so much I could say about this surreal, shocking period in my life right now but somehow no matter how dark and sad I feel you’re always leaving comments that shine a light into my corner of the world. More than ever, your words are a comforting presence.

    there are no words to thank you enough.

      Leslie, I feel like you’re right here describing the tenderness of your new heart. You’re so beautiful. You know, there’s this sense I get from the suffering you’re moving through that the heaviness and depth of it somehow is sort of ‘an engulfing nearness.’ If I’m honest, I have fears of engulfment. But there are these moments away from suffering when I wonder if such ‘nearness’ could be far more gentle than I imagine. If the heavy shroud is actually knit together with a density of mercy and love. Could the engulfing darkness possibly be a protective Presence? A healing cover of mercy cast upon us as we ache? An abiding nearness as we rediscover gravity and surrender the old heart? I’m here across the miles as a sister, willing to join you ‘neath any shroud.

        Oh Michele, I wish I could express myself like you are able to. Such sweet words for Leslie.
        Leslie, I know your pain…. For me in the beginning it was so hard to breathe but looking back on that time I know that it was also a supernatural time. The loss never gets better but it does get easier. Easier to laugh, live and even pray. My love to you.

    M- I am reminded of these verses in Lamentations- My hope is always in him.

    Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed,
    Because His compassions fail not.
    23 They are new every morning;
    Great is Your faithfulness.
    24 “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul,
    “Therefore I hope in Him!”

    Thanks for the Lovely you share.

    I really like that pink dinnerware set! However, I don’t think the men/boys in my family would want to eat on it. I’m visiting from the Thursday Favorite Things link party.
