the telling

July 14, 2015 § 2 Comments

The past five days have been a blur of words and action, paint cans litter our counter tops and kind messages interrupt busy hands. Our bodies are tired with long days of determined productivity and our spirits are weighted by a new tenderness for the generosity of our friends’ love.

Children and adults have offered assistance with the same enthusiasm they celebrated our news. We’ve relaxed into this kindness in a way that allows us courage enough to brave our own worries. Sleep comes as quickly as consciousness as we drift between raw enthusiasm and tired limbs.

I cannot remember every word of each sharing, but I want to remember the community of friendship that has marked our time here with gratitude for the goodness of so many remarkable individuals. We are better for the company we have kept and for the friendship we carry with us.
