beloved

one of the loveliest things about living as part of a community is having people to celebrate with.

but in days like these i get to see another side of community. this weekend, this week, and in the weeks to come we'll grieve together. we'll take the pair among us along with their little brood, and surround them. cry with and for them. while we give them their necessary space we knit them a tiny blanket, we cook them meals, we make them mixed cds, we think of them often and whisper prayers. there is something remarkable about the way a community is weaved together like a safety net in times like theses.

 

you say "it'll be alright, just wait and see."
