In my own way, I'm processing these days gone by . . .
sorting photos, cropping, framing, keeping and deleting,
some in bright colors on my screen, others stamped in my mind . . .
from making up beds and meals
to holding the youngest babe in my arms
to sugar roll up pancakes and stories
to hosting care group friends
to pushing swings and playing games
to sending family off once more
to rejoicing at the wedding of a widowed brother
to a quick hike to the falls, the two of us,
to a breakfast and pedicure with a daughter
to lunch with mom, who took forever to make a ham sandwich.
And it's been one week . . .
Joy, delight, laughter, tenderness and pain
sweetness and tears
hopes and fears
combine to give purpose to this season of my life
where pictures may leave a thousand words unspoken.
My heart is full.
