Heavy Heart

Today, something as ordinary as picking Jane up from school seemed like an absolute miracle.  To hold her tightly against me as I kissed her face and wiped cheerio residue from her face, I felt like the luckiest person in the world.  There are mothers and fathers out there who would give anything to be doing the same.  My heart breaks for them.  I will go to sleep tonight uneasy and uncertain about the world we live in.  I will pray for them to find grace and guidance so that they may one day find their way back to experiencing something ordinary.

With peace and love...
