Layered loss as
time goes on
grief sandwiched in between
joy,
compassion,
weariness of body and soul.
Tending to dad recovering
supporting mom recognizing the
sea change ahead.
Joying in grandsons’ smiles and laughs
and antics across the miles.
Grateful for God’s thread of grace
that weaves in and out
reminding me of a love
that lasts forever.
