Sweet Words
My life has been filled with a lot of sweetness lately. It’s been the best summer of my life and I am so grateful to God for all He has given me.
Lee and I spent some time in Long Island. It’s a place he never wanted to venture to as he is a true city guy, but he’s come to love as much as I do.
On the way home, we stopped at my brothers and grandmother’s graves (and Lee’s parents too). As a child, my grandmother’s grave was always covered by weeds. I mean covered with weeds EVERY SINGLE TIME we went to the cemetery. It creeped me out to no end as she was a good grandmother and as a kid I felt weeds grew in front of a stone because someone was a mean person. As an adult, I realized she had bad soil on her grave so I dug it up and replaced it with a few bags of soil. Now when I go to the cemetery, I smile when I walk down the aisle to her grave because beautiful bushes that I planted grow there to honor her memory. I remembered to bring a hedge cutter with me this time to trim the bushes as they were a bit large when I saw them at the beginning of Spring.
On the way home, Lee said to me: “Have I told you I love you today?” Since his operation, he makes sure to tell me regularly. I thought his question and the way he said it were such sweet words that every person in the world deserves to hear.
And my friends, these are the sweetest words I have ever seen:
Hugs,
