Life is...

I didn't think this is the post that would directly follow the last - I didn't know things would move this quickly.



Life is fragile. It takes a full nine months to form, but can be taken away in an instant. Sometimes we can see the end coming a long way off, other times, nothing prepares us for that moment when it will cease to be.



Life is painful. We face so many things each day that wear us down, crush our hopes, destroy our dreams.



Life is Joy - simple things like a smile from a friend, a hug from a lover, a glance across a room full of people, the laughter of a child, the brush of a hand, the ring of laughter.



Life is...

I write this after learning that my friend's dad passed away in the early hours of the morning. He was surrounded by friends, family - people that he loved, and that loved him. It was the end of a long road - and now comes the slow realization of what this reality means. Prayers of peace, understanding, and grace we offer to you. You are in our thoughts.
