Softening Into The Storm

Dear friend,

It’s been a tough day.

We had sad news about our neighbour Jean’s granddaughter Arabella. She’d lived for most of her young years with a brain tumour. On Saturday evening she said her last goodbyes to family and friends and slipped away.

We heard about it from my cousin Fiona.

Such an event puts all other concerns into context.

I only knew Arabella from the glow on her Nan’s face whenever she was around.

And other friends are going through similarly frightening times with their loved ones.

If ever there were days for deep compassion, softening into the storm, yielding; this was one.

Till tomorrow

Love

Mikey
