"Grief dares us to love once more."-Terry Tempest Williams
"It takes courage to risk loving again. It's the courage that affirms the love we shared with the one we have lost."-Martha Whitmore Hickman
I've always felt that if it's meant to happen it will happen at "the right time, the right place and for the right reasons."
T and I first spent a long time connecting at a social gathering that I wasn't planning on attending, but ultimately decided to go. I have always been so thankful I went to that Halloween party in October, 1988.
A year ago I really didn't want to go to a Saturday morning medical conference but ultimately decided to attend.
About 1/2 way through the morning, while walking to the bathroom, I ran directly into J. We knew each other but hadn't crossed paths for many years.
She didn't know T had died and I didn't know she had been through a difficult divorce many years ago. We met for coffee the next Saturday.
I'm really thankful I went to that conference on April 22nd, 2017.
