I didn’t find that either emotion cancelled out the other, I had great sadness and great joy. Both. My heart had to be wrenched into a larger size perhaps.

Thanks for the writing this week - it’s been a blessing.

A few days after August, my oldest son, was born, my grandma passed, unexpectedly. We were very close. I remember sitting there on the airplane with my 10 days old baby, crying - tears dripping down on his cheeks while nursing, and looking at him was comforting. It's amazing how such small creatures can bring about such large feelings of well-being. I know what you mean when you talk about the comfort a child can bring.
