Sometimes you get to decide if you want to cry. Today in church the guest speaker is H. Norman Wright. The topic is Caring for the Bereaved. I stayed long enough to sing with the choir and then quietly left as Dr. Wright came up to speak. My dear church family has already preached and lived out this sermon to me and continue to do so. I don't need it in words.

Other times you get ambushed by grief. I figure let it be, let it happen, and then move forward.
