So lovely is the juxtaposing of this dead and decaying tree and the delicate wildflowers. Death and Life. Life and death.

thank God for healing
I started reading a book, recommended by 21st Century Mom, about a woman’s travels along the PCT and through her undying grief which had pulled her down to rock bottom. I’m only as far as Chapter 3, but already have shed tears of recognition. In the two short chapters I have read, the ties of familiarity have been drawn between the author’s story and mine.
- Lung Cancer;
- a year of hope cut down to roughly a month of torturous decline;
- death tearing apart a family despite extreme efforts to hold it together;
- and healing.
Thank God for healing…
