For a friend who comes over at the end of a long day to sit with me while I cry and talk and cry some more, I give thanks.
For friends and family who don’t even vote the same way but still care for and hold my heart and grief with gentleness, I give thanks.
For a pastor and community of faith that is far away in geography but close in spirit, that is right now lighting candles for ALL the people in our country who are hurting, I give thanks.
For little girls who ask, “Why you eyes wed (red)?”, then put their small hand on my cheek and draw me in for butterfly kisses, I give thanks.
