I saw this and it made me pause. How many of us just get quiet, wear a mask and hide our grief from others? It’s so sad that we feel the need to do this. My hope is to one day normalize grief. It’s nothing to be ashamed of. There is no one on this great earth who will be able to avoid it. We all will grieve someone at sometime time. Until then, know you have a place you can come to where you don’t have to hide your sorrow and can speak of your loss. We see you and we understand. Sending a warm hug to each of you today. 💜🫂💜

Kenneth Willis Tait, this verse captures what Ken’s faith rested in: “Jesus said, ‘I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life, no one comes to the Father except through Me.’” John 14:6.

I missed you quietly today. So quietly that no one noticed.

I missed you as I climbed out of bed and as I brushed my teeth; when I waited at the lights on the drive into work and as I heard the rain outside my window.

I missed you as I ordered lunch and as I kicked off my shoes when I got home; as I switched off the lights and climbed into bed for the night.

I missed you without tears or noise or fanfare.
But oh how I felt it.

I felt it in the morning, at lunchtime, in the evening and at night. I felt it as I woke, as I waited, as I worked. I felt it at home, on the road, in the light, in the dark, in the rain.

I felt it in every one of those moments, each one sitting heavier and heavier as the weight of me missing you kept growing and growing.

Yes, I missed you so quietly today.

But I felt it so loudly.
