I am feeling a great deal of sadness today. First of all, it is the date of my father's passing. Two years have gone by in the blink of an eye. Today our day is rather unscheduled, and I'm very grateful to be able, for the most part, to spend the day surrounded by the four people in the world who matter most to me. This is especially true in light of the tragedy in Paris. There just aren't words to express my horror at that event.
I also learned just now that two dear friends lost their father. It was not unexpected, but I know their pain only too well, especially today. We are still awaiting word on our cousin Nancy who is transitioning from this life to the next. While I will be grateful her suffering has ended, it just seems to soon for her to go.
I know that our little life right here is still very blessed. The only thing on our calendar today is Robert working until 2:30, and after that we will all be home together. I am so looking forward to just 'being' with my family today.
