I light a candle for Mrs. Strutt's dad who faces bypass surgery tomorrow. May he awaken to the love that accompanied him to the hospital, to the operating room.
There is much gratitude in my heart this early morning. For friends who have helped me in the going to my sister on Thursday. For the steady stream of friends who have traveled to visit or just dropped by to wish me and my sister well. For friends who have nurtured and supported me over the last couple of weeks during my own difficulties. Even for my job and the people whom I serve. And, never to be forgotten, for the critters in my life who bring love and much laughter.
Another expression of gratitude and candle lighting is for Spirit Dancer's Syr. That hy has improved enough to go on to the next stage of treatment, that food and drink are less of a stranger, and that Spirit Dancer has had some opportunities for rest. May we all be blessed to one day have a devoted partner as she.
