Your words travel farther and deeper that you might ever know —bringing with them a sense of what is beautiful and possible in the everydayness of a moment. Keep writing please! That porch swing sounds awfully good, btw. xoxoJo Shieldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14650429888357225530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5677810352678982755.post-80556543057571533312013-06-15T16:46:37.742-07:002013-06-15T16:46:37.742-07:00Oh Thank You

You may or may not already know that one of your talents is obviously writing, and writing with an open, honest heart. Grief is such a hard weight to bear some days and with your blog you are helping other too, the feelings you express give others in the same situation a sense of empathy and complete understanding. In the midst of my grief I remember searching for some sort of reassurance that these roller-coaster feelings I was having were normal and that I wasn't going mad! I found this reassurance and empathy in Michael Rosen's 'Sad Book' but I wish I had had your blog too! My advice would be to build your talents in doing the things that make you feel close to Tom, it really helps the hole.

For now, you ARE doing with your talents, right where you are, with every breath of Vermont air you take in at early dawn on the porch, with every step you take, no matter how faltering it may be, and with every bit of hopeful green that pokes up from your "home-place" grateful to you for your efforts. Weeds too! Suggestions? Take this harder-not-better time slowly with time out to remember how proud Tom would be of his beautiful bird. And well loved you are.<br />xoxoxoxoxJo Shieldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14650429888357225530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5677810352678982755.post-42405368149971733542013-06-10T17:55:22.846-07:002013-06-10T17:55:22.846-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Jo Shieldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14650429888357225530noreply@blogger.com
