Dear Life, My heart needed a place to go.
Grief is love with only one place to go.
DEAR LIFE : THE SPACES BETWEEN

Dear Life,
Tonight grief showed up unexpectedly.
Not the kind that makes you cry all day. The kind that quietly sits beside you and reminds you of everyone you've loved and lost.
I miss my dad.
I miss hearing his voice and knowing he was only a phone call away.
Lately I've also been thinking about time. Watching my daughters grow up so quickly has made me realize how precious every ordinary moment really is. One day they'll be grown, and these days that sometimes feel long will become the days I miss the most.
Maybe that's what grief teaches us. Not just that we lose people, but that every moment is worth paying attention to while we have it.
Tonight my heart feels heavy, but it also feels grateful.
Grateful for the people I've loved.
Grateful for the people still here.
Grateful for one more day with my girls.
Love,
Deena
