I am reflecting on the gift of someone choosing you as their guide, whether through life, or death. As a mother and a caregiver, I have experienced both. To be chosen for either, is an incredibly humbling thing. I have a profound and sometimes seemingly inexplicable gratitude for this. On the flip side, I am missing my papa especially hard today and am filled with such deep sorrow over both he and my mother's physical absence. Miraculous how your heart can swell with love and ache all at once. Then again, to love and to ache, really aren't such different things at all.
