On laughter and grunts
In September
2022, after trying to get to the group home for 6 weeks, I made it! And what a
glorious reunion it was. We did all their favorite nonverbal things. There was
much grunting and laughter. One of the ladies said she misses me. It was a
tender moment. It makes my heart ache how my time was cut short with them. It felt
like ministry, being the hands, feet and heart of Christ to them. I am still grieving
this loss. She cried when I left. I promised to visit as able, that she will
still see me from time to time. I cried the whole way home.
One of the
things I am learning about grief, is that it points to love and life. Where
there is grief, there was once a good thing. I did good work with the ladies. I
can rest knowing the relationship and bonds were solid and good.
