cloudy
Tuesday, May 21, 2013A beautiful friend of mine made me a gift: felt clouds and raindrops, to hang. [so lovely]
I was watching it today while I was on the phone to My Beautiful Dad. He had just received some bad news. His closest friend, who he has known for 72 years, is in the hospital. [Can you imagine being friends with someone for 72 years? Me neither]. Now she is very sick and all he can do is go and hold her hand. Just thinking about old friends sitting, holding hands in a hospital room makes me want to cry.
So after we hung up, I sat for a while and watched my clouds and raindrops. And I gave quiet thanks for all that I have.
