Back from Texas

[nilchance]

Thank you all, so much, for your sympathy and your thoughts. That kept me going through a very hard week.



"You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting--
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things."
- Mary Oliver, Wild Geese

Sweetie,

Welcome home. I am so, so sorry for the loss of your mom. I'm sorry that it was so sudden but I know it's never easy, even if you see it coming.

I'm here, sweetie, if you need a hug or just someone to listen. I've made it through to the other side of losing both my older brother and my dad so I know how much it hurts. But, it does get better, I promise. Let the people in your life that love you in. That, more than anything else, will help you through the worst of it.

You are surrounded by love and caring, sweetie. Never, ever doubt that.

*hugs you very hard*

I'm so sorry for your loss. It's very difficult to lose a parent.

That's a beautiful poem, one of my favorites too.
