there are things one can appreciate such as the beautiful night sky, filled with stars on a cold winter's night. and taking my daughter for a drive. both silent, both perfectly beautiful.

Perfectly lovely.
That's a wonderful image for that peaceful time you had. It reminds of the non-wedding ceremony this summer of my youngest son. (He and his mate won't get formally married until that's a universal human right.) They held it at a rural retreat on the northern California coast. The ceremony itself took place in a clearing amid towering redwoods. Peaceful, spiritual, it drew together 80 friends and family in a close bond, all gathered in a Quaker-like circle to describe their love for the couple in the center. Your walk with your daughter sounds like just that sort of blessing.

It reflects the beauty and the light shining through you, Stephany. A beacon of light shining in the darkness.
Love to you.

thank you for the kind words everyone;
John that is a beautiful story about your son's ceremony, it sounds wonderful. I love the description of where it took place and the circle of love of ppl around them--awesome!
Thank you for reminding me that it's the little things that really matter.
That's what I am working on Bradley--is to remember to be in the moment and appreciate each day for what it is offering me.
When I was driving w my daughter, and then later looking up at the stars in my backyard--it occurred to me that I was witnessing the same thing all day. And for the first time I actually realized that it is ok that my daughter is silent now. because she is here, is the most important thing.
and then when i looked at the night sky--it looked more beautiful than ever before.
it's easy for me to try and "see" the future with loads of worry, and I was losing myself to that. it was important for me to re-frame my outlook.
Stephany, I need to do more Re-framing myself.
life is just too short, we must appreciate it now, because when would we if not now--is my base of my 're-framing'. it's like getting a 2nd chance at life when life has changed and knocked the wind out of us, we rise up and have another chance, which is in my opinion, a grand gift. And I will take that gift!
