This Child
Our youngest Grandchild, Legend, was born on this day, May 15th 2020 just 3 and a half months after my closest brother, David passed away. Pain and joy.Today Legend completes his 6th year of life.
* Yet, it's tainted today because I am cursed with am image in my head I wish I had not seen. I am an acutely cursed empath. A young friend shared a picture of an empty chair with the cutest picture of a little local kindergarten boy not there in person. He was a local little boy who had died in a car crash at the end of April. It would have been his kindergarten graduation. Instead, he's dead because he was a passenger riding in the car, driven by his very intoxicated father. I feel their pain because my mind goes insane and can embrace the experience as if it was my own and I have been sobbing at the knowledge....and I know it's likely a type of mental illness....so I have to work on it. In my past, I have suffered ESD, my label. Emotional Stress Disorder. I have recovered alot from where I once was. I have lost family members and regained family members
The lesson it taught me most was the value of life. All lives and life matters and today I celebrate my little jumping beans. His precious soul rescued mine.
.And the tragedy that recently occurred makes me very aware and even more THANKFUL of the mercy and blessings and the gift of life our God has given us.
