What Are All These Kissings Worth?
Thanksgiving came two days early this year.
I just received a phone call from SHG's mother. And in between all of our catching up and wishing each other's families the happiest of holidays, she told me the most amazing news. SHG's older sister Val will be having a baby this January, and there will be another S in the world.
I don't understand this world, I admit. I cannot fathom by what design things happen, why one person is born in one place and why another person dies someplace else. I don't understand how it is that so much of what happens is random chance, that an infinite number of unconnected but specific circumstances comes together in an instant to create in one moment the sublime and in another the tragic.
But I am starting to understand that no real love ever disappears from the earth. Each and every one of us is the product of not only the love we experience but the end result of the love of trillions who are long past, and that none of the love that any of those long-departed individuals shared is lost, because we are its embodiment.
This year, I am thankful for all the love that I have known, and for the knowledge that my love has the ability to reach so many whom perhaps I shall never know. May all of you both find and give the same.
