The 11th Day

[thingsunseen]

This morning, I had one of those moments you wish you could make last forever. R and I were driving back from town. Our weather has been exceptionally fine lately, despite the lurking hurricane wobbling about off our coast. I had the windows down and the radio up high, and all I could see was the sun-washed sky ahead of me as we crested the bridge. Everything else dropped away. All that remained was my sweetie, the sky with its bounty of clouds, the music on the radio, the rush of wind against my face.

I'm alive, and I'm grateful.

Please remember those who grieve today and those who were taken four years ago.
