"They Love Me"

After our Mamaw, "the sun that our family revolved around" passed away,
one of the concerns was seeing the family that had teamed up to care for her for years.  So, for mom's birthday, we thought it fitting to gather her big family for a little cookout.

It was sweet and quite comforting to hang out with these generous, kind-hearted folks.  It poured the rain, so we sat inside, told old stories and laughed at the performances of Madeline, Sophia and Claire.

After they left, my tender-hearted mom, turned around with misty eyes and said, "They love me." 
Just the right words for time spent with those who walked a journey together, and who now are navigating this next chapter.
