For The Ease You Taught Me

Mom, some of the best parts of summer are really just reminders to unclench and live. That is part of what your love taught me too: how to be in the day instead of fighting it all the time. I hope today gives a little of that ease back to you. I hope today gives some warmth back to the woman who gave me so much of it.

Healing prayer: Mom, I am praying that recovery begins gently, that comfort finds you in small ways, and that you feel how completely loved you are while your body does its quiet work.
