I had the joy of seeing on a recent postpartum community walk. I love hearing where her heart is being called on her path through motherhood.

Shortly before this walk, I learned my dad’s health was taking a significant decline after two days in intensive care. His body was failing, and his transition was eminent. My dad passed September 26.

I’m continually reminded of the love that surrounded me and continues to hold me. A walk with mothers, a note from a friend, tea delivered to my front step.

I'm still riding the waves of emotions, and am looking forward to time away with friends soon. I hope I can express and radiate the gratitude of these heart-led gestures. Y’all are beautiful. Thank you.
