I headed to Rose Park here in Billings the other day thinking there might be roses to photograph. Although I didn’t any roses, I discovered children of all ages at the park by 9 a.m. on a Saturday morning!
The tennis courts were busy, young adults were playing sand volleyball, preschool age children were on the playground, and there was a Little League game on the baseball field.
The flower garden sponsored by Compassionate Friends Billings Chapter was being tended by a woman whose son died by suicide at the age of 41. As she and I talked I was reminded that we will always by children to our parents or to those who raised us.
May you have child-like curiosity, delight, and enthusiasm in your life today.

I love “what-you-have-done-instead-of-what-you-might-have-done” and I am crying over the final photo.

Thank-you.
I was grateful to discover a public place other than a cemetery that recognizes grief as an ongoing lived experience. Tears, yes. With an acknowledgement that there is – or can be – life after the death of a child, a grandchild, or a sibling and that our beloved ones are never forgotten, forever loved.
