It has been such an exhausting day, I just don't feel like writing. Driving all over North Georgia [yes, I got lost on the way home], seeing the palpable grief faced by my cousins, seeing relatives I had not seen in years, never really eating lunch - it's all just taken a toll. I am exhausted.
I leave you with this link to a really cool blog by a young minister who's in India. I really like his writing, and there are powerful messages in there. Check it out.
When I got home, I put down my purse and before I could turn to hug him, Michael was there, hugging me from behind, his face buried in my back. Sometimes he just can't wait for a proper hug. He was anxious because I was so far away. I missed him terribly, and Alesia. I was so glad to get home and see them.
