Gathering Strength

Life demands us to be strong.

To embrace it as it comes, or wrestle with it until we can sit side by side with it.

Life does not allow us to sit by and watch… for even that has its depth of emotion.

Little by little, we gather that which is around us. Each piece holds meaning that will carry us into tomorrow.

And somewhere along the line with grace and courage, it falls into place or drops back into the sea.

 

Cheryl is home. The next steps will be slow and mindful as she heals.

Thank you for your unending prayers and generous friendship. 

If you would like to add a note to Cheryl in the comment section I will be sure she has them. Though I do not expect her to respond as she has to guard her energy.

    Bonjour Cheryl,
    Le retour chez soi est un chemin que l’on redécouvre avec bonheur. Un chemin que l’on voudrait ne plus refaire à l’envers. Garder pour soi son adresse et se préserver des douleurs. Rassemblez vos énergies et si votre corps vous permet de faire quelques pas, sortez, respirer chaque jour quelques instants pour danser à nouveau. En tout cas à chacune de mes marches je dis votre nom.

  3. Dear Cheryl, I am so glad you are home! Wishing you a triumphant recovery. Hugs to you. Looking forward to seeing pictures of you in Fraance again with Corey.
