Away from home

So we did the difficult task of telling my awesome father in law goodbye. If anything good has come from this process it is the fact that you take a moment to think about life and use this as a navigation tool.  Are the paperwork and signatures in line? Have you thought about this thing or that thing? It's not being morbid, it's a help.  Or it will be.

We didn't stay long (one evening). There are lots of folks trying to get in and say their goodbyes and the house is tiny. What a glorious problem to have, so many who love you that they are lined up to tell you so.

So as with any trip, I tried to take note of the beauty around whether it be made in nature or by man from nature.

The view from the hotel. About five yards from the building, it begins to turn into the natural woods it used to be.

Feels like this desk was just something made from leftover rustic building materials. 

Quite beautiful.

This is what life is. 

I saw much affection and love as people pull together to walk through this section of life.

Loss is hard but we are better for having been here.

Here's hoping you find the love and beauty in your life today.
