Today I went to Lake Michigan to see the earth meet the sky/ nothing to interfere w the view. It was perfection. Looked like a painting (and I didn’t have my phone.)
I go to the lake on special days and sometimes just because. Today was my little sister‘s birthday. She was born early, lived 7 hours. I never got to see her and I still miss her. I was 11 years old. It was years until I grieved at that loss. It came to the foreground went when my one remaining sibling died in 2005.
I too turn to beauty. It reminds me of the one who created it for me to enjoy and reminds me of his presence.
When I read your headline, I gasped. I am more grateful than ever that this chapter is part of your book.

I always enjoy reading what you have to write
I love this personal glimpse of the Doermir Fir—I just heard about the fire last week and was hoping it was out by now.
And I love your line about how we moms are always looking for amazing things to show our kids, even when they’ve grown. I can relate!
