no words

Today is the 10th anniversary of Dane's homegoing (as Susie liked to call it).
It still hurts.
I can't even open the door to the pain of that day.
Dane was such a big part of our lives. A lynch pin in the family dynamics. Dane was Dane and proud of it.
Where do you put that grief?
You just give it to God.
He will take care of it, just as He takes care of our every need.
I was going to post something on Facebook, but no words could adequately express my feelings without seeming like a cliche.
Jenny and I were talking on the phone this morning, right after I got to work. I was in my classroom,
sitting on the window ledge because that is the only place where I get reception on my phone. We were talking about Dane and I noticed that a little bird landed on a bush/tree right outside my window. Then another one arrived. Then one more. I said to Jen, "Oh there are one...no, two...oh there are three little birds sitting in the tree outside my window." At that point, I was just thinking "signs of spring".
An hour later I realized how profound that was.
Three little birds. Perched on my doorstep.
This is my message to you.
Don't worry about a thing.
Every little thing's gonna be alright.
It always is. No matter what.
