Strange Saturday

Spent this morning at the funeral of a sweet friend. And as uplifting and tender as funerals are, I'm always left feeling so drained and sad. Always wondering if anyone will have anything good to say about me after I'm gone, or if my life will pass mostly unnoticed.

Opted out of a movie, instead ran a few errands, and stopped in to see our son and his family. The very best part of the day. The hugs from each and every one of them absolutely warmed my heart. Replaced some of those sad feelings with, well, a hug. One of God's greatest inventions: the hug.
