I love my life because after a year in the dark clouds of grief, I'm finally feeling a wonderful surge of joy in living. I realized that my world, while smaller these days, is full of blessings. Two beautiful grandchildren, gardens full of red tulips this week, a husband who loves me and a community of sisters who have journeyed through the toughest year of my life and helped me come out the other side with the ability to feel joy, new passion for possibilities and a renewed sense of purpose.
