Good Morning World
On the front porch at dawn
watching the world wake up
greeting ‘good morning’ to folks
walking by with their dogs
after saying goodbye to visiting
family off on a long journey home
I stay here with my coffee and words
offering a a thankful hello to
A New Day

It was a new day in many ways and another step on my journey. My sister and brother-in-law were my first house guests other than our kids, since John died. It was wonderful and as always, taught me something. Although I’ve been keenly aware of all that goes missing with the loss of one’s spouse I hadn’t thought much about how much we leaned on each other when planning for and enjoying a special occasion! Thankfully, while his touch was definitely missing in a million ways and it was not the old foursome, familiar camaraderie covered those gaps. Gracious conversation and delight at the joy of being together for a while was like a weekend long hug! Thankful again today for the warm love of family and friends!
