when there aren't words...

Life is so full.  Full of beauty and pain and brokenness and joy and heartache and celebration.  Somewhere along the way I stopped posting on here because I honestly felt like I just needed to pause for a moment.  The past few months have been full of beauty, but they have also been full of tragedy.  And tragedy leaves our hearts in a messy place where there are often no words.

So instead of words, it was hours spent on buses and listening to stories of a beautiful life and holding old wrinkled hands when there was nothing left to say.  It was just being there and remembering to treasure every heart and every moment.
