Listening, lest lessons lost
Every evening

Unintentional, David. Just speaking from my own experiences. ❤

David, beautifully expressed. Wishing you solace. Grief coexists with the joys of the present and beautiful memories of the past. As Ingrid says, the pain becomes less acute. ❤ ❤ ❤

  Thanks so much, Cheryl. Your comment reads very poetically to me. Was that intentional?

Comfort to you. 💓🤗
I am reminded by the morning light, but my heart is heaviest at night.

  Thanks, Michele.
  
  Did you deliberately write that line as a poem, it has a lovely ring to it.

    I did not deliberately try to write with a lovely ring, the words just showed up and flowed from my poetic cup. 😁
    Thank you for noticing.

    But it doesn’t stay acute forever.
