Sept. 26, 2014
Today I spent the day with Daughter on the anniversary of a
traumatic loss for her. Not only was the event life-threatening at the time,
but it left physical and emotional wounds that simply refuse heal. She
helped me through my own painful anniversary a couple of weeks ago, so I
planned to spend the day with her to divert her attention. Husby stayed
with Grandson while Daughter and I went to lunch and shopping – we never made
it to our planned pedicure, as we shopped nearly until Grandson’s
dinnertime. We fixed and ate dinner at her house, and as we were leaving, she hugged me
and whispered that she didn’t think about the past ordeal once all day. That’s what
sharing one another’s burdens is about, and how thankful I am to have family who
can and will share and share alike. Big thanks to a loving, albeit exhausted Dad and Husby for making it possible, as Grandson is a fun but active five-year-old!
