FEELING THE SUN DESPITE THE RAIN

I took this photo 7 years ago today. We had just left the cardiologist and learned that therapies were failing. Because Mitchell’s heart was in serious trouble, we petitioned for a heart transplant which would be denied a few weeks later. Thinking back on this uncertain and tender time feels like two things at once: like it was yesterday and also a lifetime away.

The strange thing about healing is when I look back on our suffering, I see more beauty than pain. 🙏🏼 Its not that the storms of grief are gone, it’s more like I can feel the sun despite the rain.
