We've had people around, things to do...it has felt as if we are go-go-going even when we are at rest. There has been joy. There have been tears. There have been memories shared.
Today, is travel day. People are starting to return to their regular lives as best they can. Once my parents left to take "Mooma" to the train station, the quiet set in. My heart felt even heavier. It's time to return to "normal." For some, a new normal. For others, whatever their "normal" is. But, alas...it is time. Uncle Bubba and his family are headed home today as well. Even having spent just a small amount of time with them, I think knowing they were here made a difference. The family had gathered, as families do.
It's quiet. So quiet. After spending two months where I had quiet and mostly productive mornings at home, this would almost seem normal. But again...my heart is heavy.
I will resume my regular morning routine momentarily. But, I felt I needed this release and so, here I am. A second blog post in less than 12 hours. A song has stuck in my head since yesterday evening. So, I leave you with it. Prayers for peace and comfort for those who need it now and into the days to come.
