3,650 Days - 10 Years - A Decade

It's a bit surreal to me that today marks 10 years since RJ's death. Time stretched without me realizing it had done so - now it snaps back in place with a sharp "thwack." Regardless of the "anniversary" number, his absence remains poignant for me. Yet, from that loss -- from the fruit of our love and from the ashes of my grief -- God has nurtured me and provided a way forward. I didn't always see His path and I probably blew right past any number of His generous graces, but as I reflect upon these last many years, the evidence of His hand upon me is brilliantly clear. Praise God, His faithfulness continues. I thank God for the gift of love that came into my life more than 30 years ago. On the heels of this notable date, I also humbly thank our Lord for the great blessing of a new love in my life that has appeared as unbidden and unexpectedly as the first. With a grateful heart, I give glory to God always.
