Kind Acts

I returned home after Dada's funeral to a plethora of kindness. My friend Betsy had washed and folded laundry that I had neglected while I was away. She made us a huge dinner that we were able to feast on for weeks. Friends from Boston, New York, and New Jersey sent the beautiful lilac floral arrangement. It was breathtaking, truly. Jen sent a care package of magazines, toys for the kids, candy, and other favorites. I felt the love when I walked in that door. It somehow sustained me and allowed me to carry on. I can't even count all of the cards that friends and family sent us. Each one is still on our mantle weeks later. I will make them into a blessing ring and treasure them forever.
