today i realized that i am going through another season of grief these past few weeks. i have a whole checklist of undone little things. i find myself putting off emails and phone calls for days. my house is untidy very often. i am late to just about everything. the sparkle has gone out of my piano teaching. the constant whistling wind outside is unnerving. i long for quiet company in my home. i don't get very much done during the day. i am easily teared up by other people's hurts. i forget to take care of my little birdie. i am easily distracted when people are trying to have conversations with me. i am forgetting people's names all the time. . . . grief is a long process.
i don't want this all to go away, because i can sense my heart changing and molding in ways that are exciting. it is just a long road to walk while the heart-work is taking place... goodnight.

Speaking of which, there's a book I've meaning to read to you. It won't take long. Maybe Saturday? Over tea?
I discovered Krissy's blog today, and on her sidebar was a link to yours. I have been sitting here for quite some time now reading. I started at the beginning and here I am at the last entry to date. I have been so touched reading all that you have shared. The most amazing post was the one where you talked about asking questions of people who have lost a baby. I loved hearing your perspective, though I wept throughout the post ! And your last paragraph of this post about sensing your heart changing and molding in ways that are exciting. Wow. I think you are amazing ! So wise. So tender- hearted. So willing to walk the long road that you didn't choose. I have prayed for you and Ethan as you have come to mind, and I will continue to do so.
Love you,
Bonnie
