Emotions

I'm an emotional person. I always have been. I've always been one that showed my emotions quickly and easily and I always feel them so strongly. This has been a rough morning, and we aren't even at noon yet. I had a feeling it would be rough because a month ago this morning I learned about the death of our friends' six-month-old. I also learned this week that an older cousin is dying from cancer. We aren't terribly close, but I adore his mother and I hurt for her. And this morning, my mother called, fighting tears, to tell me about the death of a long time friend of hers. The migraine I had been fighting when I woke up won over in church, and I left after the readings. My prayers go out to all of my wonderful friends and families who have been touched by death and illness, and as we head into this Holy Week, I pray that everyone can find strength and comfort, and maybe even a feeling of renewal.
