Father God, today I cried some and smiled some.
- Cried: So much death in 2025 and 2026 for me. Debbie in January 2025, Wanda (Mom) in September 2025, and pending Mary Ann ("suegra") probably this year. Songs were associated with Debbie and Wanda; angels of various types, in human form or canine form (and for my nephew Joe, probably in cardinal/avian form); contemplation of how my own life is going to be weighed in your scale.
- Smiled: Two positive things--no, maybe three. I shared on The Chosen Facebook page (the gifts promotion, I think) that I am wearing the hoodie saying "I have only one thing to do today...FOLLOW HIM." Someone monitoring that page loved my post. The young black man at the Toyota dealership, Exavier, said to me as we were leaving, "If no one has told you this today, you are beautiful." I still feel warmed by his sweet encouragement. And then thirdly, but first chronologically, my Spanish lesson with Edder was his story about a deaf boy named Leander, and we had so much fun. I learned so much, and we shared each other's lives and loves (he told me about his partner, Ilich, and sent me a picture of them), and then he made me promise to tell Mary Ann about him when we visit.
Thank You. I need these little reminders of You and from You.
