Little Notes

Over the last week or so, people have sent me little messages, notes of encouragement and love. Sometimes they just send me funnies to help me laugh. I appreciate every single one. Thank you.

Grief is universal in that we all experience it in some measure or another. And it’s as personal and unique as each individual. It’s very easy to second-guess what to do or say because the “do unto others” paradigm doesn’t always fit so neatly. I might like X, but so-and-so my hate it, preferring anything but X. I have a couple of examples that come to mind that bring a chuckle…now.

But I can say without hesitation how much I appreciate these little texts and notes and affirmations of our shared humanity. All of you have made this past year do-able. Thank you. I love you.
