Pain

Today was painful.

My daughter lost a friend. My sweet little 13 year old lost one of her best friends in a freak accident. She has no concept of this idea, of grief. I have no idea of how to help her feel this and move through it.

So, we share the pain. We chat when she wants to. We pray. We hug a lot.

It hurts.

I told her today that when one of us hurts, we all hurt.  I wish she still couldn't understand that.

Snow Day!

Happy snow day, everybody. It seems that all my friends, no matter where they live have seen snow in the past few days: Washington, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee....  Man, what a great time for those who love snow.

I hope that those of you who like snow are having fun and that those of you who don't are staying safe and warm.

Enjoy your awesome flakes!
