musings from memphis

to my dear family,
i am digging this idea of a centralized location to share our thoughts. brilliant work diane and taryn! she would really love this, you know. all of us staying connected and in tune with everyone's lives. brilliant!
i, like all of you, am trying to sort through the monotony of every day life after our world was turned upside down. it has been a bit of an adjustment and a lot of a change in perception. everywhere i go, i am reminded of grandma. the river walk that we so much enjoyed when she visited, the halls of st. jude, my little apartment, the restaurant we went to downtown. at first it made me sad. and i cried. but, then i realized that the memory is okay. she is everywhere. and always will be. with each of us. and that is a blessing beyond what words can articulate, right?  
the weather has been divine so far. this weekend it is supposed to rain a bit, but still climb into the high 60s [tori, please omit the taunting "it's 85 here" comment!]. i plan on relaxing and catching up from last week. [pretty sure my traveling clothes are still in the hamper and i am eating all the non-perishable food left in my pantry so that i don't have to expend any more energy than necessary.] i hope you all have a chance to unwind and be still for a moment or two this week as well.
so glad to hear everyone made it to their final destinations safely! be looking for an email with an attached "ode to grandma" tonight or tomorrow. thinking of, missing and praying for you all. 
love you, love you, love you!
