Today marks one year since my sister Lori’s passing, so I punched purple tulips in her honor.
Today, my sorrow over [both] my sisters is tangled up with grief over the loss of my favorite uncle, who ministered so ably and lovingly when we lost Karlette and Lori. He passed away two days ago.
For the past few weeks, I’ve been trying to put into words all the things my uncle was and is to me.
Today, I sat in front of my window–journal and pen in hand–and desperately willed the words to come. They refused. Usually my readiest companions through the most challenging moments, lately, they have failed me time and time again.
So today, I punched purple tulips in honor of my sister.

Loss is HARD. It happens so often, it seems like it should feel more “natural” than it does, more “right”. It just feels wrong. Try to do something nice for someone today… and for YOURSELF.
