Some moments feel too intentional to ignore.

In the middle of grief, testimony, tears, and remembrance, a small bird rested quietly on the stones of those that are deeply loved and deeply missed.

It felt like a pause.
A presence.
A reminder that love does not leave just because the body does.

This week, we carried names, stories, anger, tenderness, and each other. And somehow, in the middle of it all, there were still softness waiting for us 🕊️
