“beautiful things fill every vacancy”
- C. D. Wright
A year since my grandma died and almost exactly 6 months since my mom died. In a matter of months two of my closest relationships and the remainder of my family gone, the world is a different place. But they were both granted peace, especially my mom after her extreme struggles the last few years of her life. And despite the pain of loss felt since, it has been quite remarkable to see the mind bow out so easily, call off the contest and silence the protests it made and just allow the heart to take the lead now, taking me to a place of great reverence. And while there is still the awareness of toxic behavior out there, it gets far less of my time and energy now, they are far too precious. Extra love and gratitude to you today, grandma and mom, I miss you.
