Smoke Gets In Your Eyes

Campfire, originally uploaded by P. Sto.

A fire. Friends. Women. Lovely food. Wine…and other! Song. Sharing. Tears.

It was the monthly meeting of a group that I belong to, this is the same group of women that I went to the cabin with recently. It was a lovely end to a day that surprised me in several ways.

I wont detail all of the surprises, but to start with, Starr and I were running some errands for the 5k when we returned home to find a package on the front step. A FedEx. Addressed to her charity, inside were a stack of coupons and $150 worth of gift certificates from Dick’s Sporting Goods. We were not expecting that. One of the high schoolers from Key Club must have contacted them. Nice.

Then, I received a personal email from someone who read our story and pain here on this blog, and who has experienced similar. Offering herself, and her heart so the we both can work towards healing. How incredible.

It’s the first day in a long time that I’ve felt hope.
