Beautiful essay, Melissa. Last night I watched Paul Simon on the Stephen Colbert show. Colbert has had to deal with great loss in his life. As he and Simon were talking about grief and faith, Colbert said that he sees “grief as gratitude, as love.” Grief is proof we have loved.
Beautiful and wise essay, my friend. Love that line from your friend about being “vulnerable with our hearts wide open.” And your observations about friendship and grief. Thank you!

Colbert’s way with words reveals great truth!
How could we not pay homage to Susan in this race in which a moose needed to be butchered? Thanks for your kind words, Lisa

Susan Butcher is an icon! AND from Our Fair City of Cambridge, Mass. You weave a lot of things together beautifully in this one.
