It may be trite. It may be a cliche but I needed to laugh if only to save my sanity and thanks to loving family I was given the gift of laughter today.
My sister Evelyn gave my son D'Arcy two tickets to the Vinyl Cafe Christmas Concert for his birthday. The original plan was for her to go with him but in a simple act of love and compassion they agreed to offer me the second ticket. In my entire 56 years I have never received such a simple gift filled with so much love, joy and compassion. I laughed and sometimes fought back the tears and I healed a little.
There are moments in my life that nourish me and sustain me through the dark nights of the soul. This day will always be one of them. I know I still face days of pain and nights of sorrow. When we love completely - when we give over our souls to another the path to recovery is long and painful but the love and care I have received from so many friends and family these past few days will sustain me. I will survive. I will survive.
