are full of
these things today
...wanting Grandbetty's heart to be healthy, the beautiful and delicious organic eggs I got from Far Out Farms, the straight up strangeness of reading Genesis as an adult, all of the awesome things I'm learning and pondering from my class at the Jung Center, recent sister friend bonding time when Lizzy taught me how to make some crazy braids, and the power of community and prayer. I prayed so hard yesterday that I thought I would burst a blood vessel. I asked to be able to talk to my Grandbetty one more time, to have her realize who I am (she has Alzheimer's), and to be able to tell her that I love her. Her light is fading and I'm not sure how long she'll be with us, but I was given such a gift last night...spent over 2 hours talking with her, playing songs for her, singing to her with Grandbob, and reminiscing about our trip to Hawaii that we took when I was 10. She was incredibly lucid and loving and we both got to tell each other how much we love each other. I'm going back today to visit again with my Dad and Stepmom. Super grateful all around!
