Day 3


Surviving on beer, hope, and this wildly undeserved love

I am always amazed at how we come to love a person or family. What small bits and pieces over the months or years of our relationships add up the this compassion and faith and hope in and for that other person? How is it that I can be so blessed with so many who love me and want good things for me?

A dear friend recently told me that to know me is to be blessed by brilliance and compassion and that anyone who is not blinded by it is unworthy. How have I come by so much good and wonder and beauty? Why is it that I should be so lucky? Sometimes I think half of my heartbreak is caused simply by the number of people who hold me so highly in their regard, who would and can do everything within their power to help me through this. My life, even in these darkest of moments, is truly charmed.
